DERMATOPATHOLOGY A-Z. A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE

Dermatopathology A-Z is a comprehensive book designed to help a novice in the field quickly learn diagnostic criteria and memorize the images, while more experienced dermatopathologists or surgical pathologists can quickly refresh their visual memory by reviewing images of two cases of a particular disease.
