This practical atlas describes the use of dermoscopy in the clinic, a technique that is increasingly used by the clinical dermatologist. It revolves around the use of clinical cases, simulating what happens in the clinic when the dermatologist is presented with a patient who has pigmented lesions. Dermatologists perform diagnoses based on what they see on the skin and with these images recognize different diseases. This whole spectrum of forms and shapes is reflected in colour. Dermoscopy opens a new and very wide field of structures and colors that can not be seen with the naked eye and, with appropriate training and the use of this book, improves our clinical diagnosis. Comprehensive Atlas of Dermatoscopy Cases teaches the technique through specially selected clinical cases that cover the entire field of dermoscopy, providing the reader a thorough understanding of the techniques and methodologies associated with diagnosis using dermatoscopy. It is of great use to the trainee dermatologist and any practicing dermatologist seeking to expand their skills with this important diagnostic tool.

The aim of this atlas is to provide detailed and comprehensive, easy-to-use information, sufficient to perform trichoscopy in clinical practice. From basics to advanced knowledge, everything in one book. In this sense it is rather an “illustrated textbook” than solely an atlas. It includes evidence based information, acknowledged algorithms, which help easy diagnosis and “take home messages”, which aid memorizing specific features of diverse diseases. The atlas consists of two major parts. In the first part the authors describe structures and patterns seen in trichoscopy. The second part consists of detailed description of characteristic trichoscopy features of diverse diseases of hair and scalp. Consecutive chapters illustrate genetic hair disorders, acquired hair loss and scalp diseases.

This atlas, containing a wealth of clinical and dermoscopic images, describes and illustrates the applications of dermoscopy in a wide variety of skin disorders that may be encountered in the pediatric population. Key features and other salient aspects are highlighted with the aim of enabling the clinician to reach a fast and reliable diagnosis in all cases. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive technique that allows rapid and magnified in vivo observation of the skin, with visualization of morphologic features imperceptible to the naked eye. Dermoscopy has revolutionized the approach to pigmented skin lesions, greatly improving diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, over the past few years it has been demonstrated to be very useful in the diagnosis, follow-up, and therapeutic monitoring of a range of other skin disorders, including cutaneous/mucosal infections, ectoparasitoses, inflammatory diseases, and hair and nail abnormalities. Being non-invasive, dermoscopy is particularly suitable for use in the pediatric population, in which invasive diagnostic procedures may be problematic.

A lavishly illustrated guide to this important diagnostic technique Praise for previous editions: "Using the atlas as an education intervention resulted in a 39% improvement in the sensitivity for the diagnosis of melanoma by primary care physicians."--British Journal of Dermatology "The illustrations in this book are outstanding. The quality of the photographs of the clinical lesions, the histopathology and the surface microscopy are magnificent. The atlas is an important contribution to the process of improving diagnostic accuracy for melanoma. Anyone who uses a dermatoscope needs to have this book."--Prof. Robin Marks, Department of Dermatology, St. Vincent's Hospital, University of Melbourne "This is an extremely useful and educational text that formed the basis of my core knowledge of the principles of dermoscopy when I first became interested in treating skin cancers....Indispensable."--Dr. Ben Cook, Fellow of the Skin Cancer College of Australia and New Zealand Dermoscopy (also known as surface microscopy) is a clinical technique that allows for detailed examination of skin lesions and is more clinically accurate in skin oncology than other diagnostic tools. Extensively used as educational texts, previous editions of this atlas have led to significant reductions in excisions or referrals of pigmented skin lesions. Dermoscopy: An Atlas, 3rd Edition (previous title: An Atlas of Surface Microscopy of Pigmented Skin Lesions: Dermoscopy) is a practical and comprehensive manual that will improve your results in diagnosis of skin tumors and related conditions. This well-illustrated, highly acclaimed reference provides a complete understanding of the use of dermoscopy, explaining diagnostic features and examining benign melanocytic, melanoma, and non-melanocytic lesions. The book will be of interest to general practitioners, skin cancer specialists, dermatologists, and any clinician involved in diagnosing skin tumors and related conditions.

This book describes the use of dermatoscopy to diagnose a wide spectrum of non-pigmented skin diseases. This is particularly important as the absence of pigment renders these lesions particularly challenging to diagnose. The book uses clinical cases, modeling when a dermatologist is presented with a patient presenting with non-pigmented lesions. Dermatoscopy opens a new and very wide field of skin appearance that cannot be seen with the naked eye and, with appropriate training and the use of this book, improves clinical diagnosis of non-pigmented lesions. Dermatoscopic Atlas of Non-Pigmented Lesions: Case-based Analysis and Management Options adds significantly to the analysis of cases from the editors’ previous volumes by teaching the technique through specially selected, complex and interesting clinical cases and providing the reader a thorough understanding of the techniques and methodologies associated with diagnosis using dermatoscopy. This book represents a valuable addition to pre-existing literature and enhance clinicians to expand their dermatoscopic skills and improve their daily practice.
