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.
