Wiley-Blackwell An Illustrated Guide to Skin Lymphoma Diagnosis

Skin lymphomas are relatively rare but can easily be overlooked as less serious conditions like psoriasis or dermatitis. The progression to the tumour stage is uneventful and can take as long as 20 years but, once reached, spread and death follow within a matter of one or two years. Early and accurate diagnosis is, therefore, essential. This book is an extremely practical guide to diagnosis that will help any pathologist spot skin lymphoma. It combines stunning pictures of histopathology (tissue specimens) with the clinical features making it attractive and useful to pathologists and clinicians. Its practical flavour is further enhanced by the inclusion of recommendations for patient management. It also features the latest classification systems for diagnosing skin lymphoma.
