Dermatopathology, Fourth Edition

Raymond L. Barnhill, A. Neil Crowson, Cynthia M. Magro, Michael W. Piepkorn, Heinz Kutzner, Garrett T. Desman

The definitive survey of diagnostic dermatopathology—and the single-best resource for addressing differential diagnosis at the microscopic level


For virtually every kind of skin lesion, this skill-sharpening resource has everything clinicians need to successfully perform differential diagnosis at the microscopic level. Barnhill's Dermatopathology features a systematic, algorithmic approach that cuts through the complexity of the discipline’s traditional disease-oriented focus, providing a ready-to-use diagnostic tool that puts the entire world of dermatopathology into perspective. 


This classic has won acclaim as the only dermatology pathology resource  that is valuable for both teaching and for clinical practice  and differential diagnosis. While other references may be more exhaustive, denser, or larger, none are more clinically useful as Barnhill's Dermatopathology. With 25% of the dermatology board and recertification examination consisting of dermatopathology topics, this is also an outstanding board review tool. 


Filled with hundreds of color photomicrographs, the book features a clear five-part organization and nearly forty detailed chapters—each reflecting the scientifically rigorous, up-to-date insights of authors who are acknowledged experts in the field. The book’s vast scope encompasses all skin disease processes—inflammatory, non-inflammatory, infections, and proliferations (harmatomas, hyperplasias, and neoplasms, plus disorders of nails and oral mucosa).
