The diagnostic features of dermoscopy -- Benign pigmented macules -- Melanocytic nevi -- Melanoma -- Non-melanocytic pigmented tumors -- Two-step procedure for diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions -- Computerized (digital) monitoring of melanocytic lesions.

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. 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.
