This atlas provides a clear, concise overview of the most challenging circumstances faced by clinicians and pathologists when dealing with melanocytic neoplasms. The book is structured as a case series; for each case, the clinical and dermoscopic appearances are presented, accompanied by a brief but comprehensive description and compelling histopathologic images. When available, in vivo confocal microscopy images are also included to highlight additional diagnostic clues. Identification of key messages and selected references will further guide the reader in the diagnosis and management of the neoplasm under consideration.
It is well known that melanocytic lesions can be difficult to interpret. Some lesions show an ambiguous combination of morphologic criteria, and in these cases interpretation entails a high degree of subjectivity that results in low interobserver agreement even among expert pathologists. This atlas demonstrates how the addition of clinical information, including that provided by dermoscopy, can assist in reaching a more confident diagnosis.
"A series of dermatoscopically difficult cases are presented along with their clinical and histological findings are presented in this book, along with a brief history for each vignette. There is a short description of the subtle dermatoscopic findings that should alert clinicians to the correct diagnosis. . The audience is dermatologists, specifically experts in dermoscopy."

Caterina Longo is a dermatologist specialized in diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers. Since 2005 she mainly researches in noninvasive diagnosis in dermato-oncology, with a focus on melanoma and pigmented skin lesions study by non invasive methods, such as dermoscopy and confocal microscopyHer scientific interest to link dermoscopic and confocal morphologies of melanoma with genetic and proteomic profiles, she joined the "Center for Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine", George Mason University (Virginia,USA) directed by Dr. Liotta and Dr Petricoin in 2008. Besides skin oncology, she is interested in the application of confocal microscopy to assess the skin aging and to monitor the efficacy of treatments. Since 2011, she works as scientific consultant at the skin cancer unit of ASMN-IRCCS Reggio Emilia, for the implementation of in vivo and ex vivo confocal microscopy. So far, she published 162 indexed papers on these topics. She won the IDS prize asbest young researcher in 2015.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
