ed), 428 pages, 300 illus, $100 list
Dermoscopy:
An Illustrated Guide offers a unique check-list methodology
for learning how to use dermoscopy to diagnose benign and malignant pigmented
and non-pigmented skin lesions. For each of the 191 cases, you will find a
series of high-quality full-color clinical and dermoscopic images, each with a
short history. Every case is followed by five true-or-false questions along
with three check boxes to test your knowledge acquisition and decision-making
ability on “Risk, Diagnosis, and Disposition.” Turn the page and the answers to
the questions are provided in a unique, memorable manner in which the
dermoscopic images are presented again. Circles, stars, boxes, and arrows
appear in the image pointing out the important dermoscopic criteria of each
case.

Videodermatoscopy in Clinical practice: Beyond Pigmented Lesions
By
Giuseppe Micali
2009
(1st ed), 190 pages, $200 list
Dermoscopy
has increasingly been taken up in general dermatology practice in the USA as a
non-invasive technique for the differential diagnosis of pigmented skin
lesions. Videodermatoscopy – dermoscopy using a digital system - allows a
higher-magnified observation of the skin surface and has also been used for
other investigations, such as monitoring the progress of therapy for dermatologic
conditions, with some success. This book aims to advance knowledge of these
additional uses of videodermatoscopy beyond the usual indication for pigmented
lesions of the skin.

Color Atlas of Dermatoscopy
By Wilhelm
Stolz
2009 (3rd
ed), 240 pages, 500 illus, $180 list
The continuous, worldwide demand
for this standard atlas has encouraged the authors and publishers to prepare an
updated and enlarged third edition. Dermatoscopy is a relatively new technique
and allows the doctor to make a rapid and highly accurate assessment of whether
a pigmented lesion (mole) is likely to be malignant. Otherwise, the patient
would have to undergo a biopsy and laboratory analysis of the specimen. Thus, a
dermatoscope, costing a 100 dollars, can save lives, or at least, the high
costs of unnecessary surgery. This book is a highly visual guide to the subject
and will teach the necessary pattern recognition skills. It really is an atlas,
in that, it contains over 500 high resolution colour photographs with detailed
accompanying diagrams to explain how to recognise the key diagnostic features
of each lesion. The main focus of the book is the daily challenge which physicians
face when evaluating patients with pigmented lesions.
