PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION:

Melanocytic proliferations comprise a large number of pigmentedlesions of the skin and muscosa. Of these, melanoma is ofparticular interest to clinicians and their patients. The risingnumber of incidences of melanoma has led to increased interest inthe disease from diagnostic, management, and basic scienceperspectives.
The Melanocytic Proliferations: A Comprehensive Textbook ofPigmented Lesions is the most complete single-source treatmentof the subject available--thoroughly updated to reflect thevery latest studies and clinical experience in diagnosing andtreating melanocytic proliferation. This new edition of thebestseller presents an experience- and evidence-based review ofpigmented lesions that encompasses the biology, diagnosis, andtreatment of melanocytic proliferations and disorders, includingmelanoma. It comes with over 300 new color images--bringingthe total to over 600--and contains two completely newchapters: Dermatoscopic Diagnosis of Melanoma; and ReflectanceConfocal Microscopy.
Chapter coverage includes:
* An approach to the clinical diagnosis of melanoma, itsprecursors, and its clinical mimics
* Freckles and lentigines
* Benign acquired nevi
* Dermal dendritic melanocytic proliferations/dermalmelanocytoses
* Spitz nevus
* Combined nevus, deep penetrating nevus, plexiform spindlecell nevus, and borderline tumors of the deep penetrating nevusvariant
* Recurrent melanocytic nevus
* Congenital nevi
* Dysplastic melanocytic nevi, de novo intradermalepithelioid and lentiginous melanocytic dysplasias, and nevi atspecific anatomic sites
* Melanoma
* Conjunctival melanocytic proliferations
* Use of adjunctive immunoperoxidase, molecular, andultrastructural studies in the diagnosis of melanocyticproliferations
* Biology of melanoma
* Borderline melanocytic proliferation
* Dermatoscopic diagnosis of melanoma
* Reflectance confocal microscopy
* Therapy of melanoma
The Melanocytic Proliferations: A Comprehensive Textbook ofPigmented Lesions is an incredibly important text for allclinical pathologists, dermatopathologists, surgical pathologists,dermatologists, cosmetic physicians, and surgeons.

Über Autor(innen)

Cynthia M. Magro, MD, is Professor of Pathology and Director of Dermatopathology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York City. She has published extensively in the areas of inflammatory skin disease, including collagen vascular disease, vasculitis, cutaneous manifestations of systemic disease, and unique drug hypersensitivity reactions. A significant focus of her work has been lymphocytic infiltrates, including unique forms of drug reactions such as the interstitial granulomatous drug reaction and drug-associated reversible T cell dyscrasia; prelymphomatous cutaneous lymphoid dyscrasias including atypical lymphocytic lobular panniculitis pityriasis lichenoides chronica and pigmented purpuric dermatosis; and malignant T and B cell lymphomas. She has extended her work in immune mechanisms of skin disease and applied it to areas of lung transplantation and pulmonary fibrosis.

Neil Crowson, MD, is Clinical Professor of Dermatology, Pathology, and Surgery, and Director of Dermatopathology at the University of Oklahoma and Regional Medical Laboratory in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His current research interests focus on mechanisms of neoplastic and inflammatory skin disease.

Martin C. Mihm, Jr., MD, is Clinical Professor of Pathology and Dermatology at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital. He is internationally recognized for his expertise in the pathology, diagnosis, and management of pigmented lesions, lymphoid disorders, and vascular tumors. He has worked extensively to understand the host response to melanoma and other tumors. He has served as codirector of the WHO Melanoma Program in addition to his many obligations in translational and clinical research in cutaneous inflammation, tumor vaccination, and pathogenesis of vascular lesions in children.
