Short description:

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 avaluable addition to pre-existing literature and enhance clinicians to expand their dermatoscopic skills and improve their daily practice.
