Since 1949, Lever's Histopathology of the Skin has been a standard text and reference in dermatopathology. Now, this classic work has been thoroughly updated and significantly enhanced by a distinguished new editorial team and more than 40 eminent contributors. Dr. Elder and his colleagues have substantially revised the text to make it more useful as an aid to diagnosis and to reflect recent advances in immunohistochemistry and molecular biology. A new chapter in the Eighth Edition presents an algorithmic classification of skin diseases. This chapter will assist pathologists and dermatologists in generating differential diagnoses for unknown cases. Greater emphasis is placed on pathogenesis of skin diseases as revealed by immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and molecular studies. This edition contains 90 new color illustrations, including clinical photographs and photomicrographs of immunohistochemical and other special stains. Scanning magnification photomicrographs have also been added, to facilitate pattern recognition on slides.
A CD-ROM containing Lever's Histopathology of the Skin, Eighth Edition and Synopsis and Atlas of Lever's Histopathology of the Skin is available. See Media Products Section for details. Either book can be purchased together with the CD-ROM at a special low price
