The Melanocytic Proliferations: A Comprehensive Textbook of Pigmented Lesion-2판

Melanocytic proliferations comprise a large number of pigmented lesions of the skin and muscosa. Of these,
melanoma is of particular interest to clinicians and their patients. The rising number of incidences of
melanoma has led to increased interest in the disease from diagnostic, management, and basic science
perspectives.

The Melanocytic Proliferations: A Comprehensive Textbook of Pigmented Lesions is the most complete single-
source treatment of the subject available—thoroughly updated to reflect the very latest studies and clinical
experience in diagnosing and treating melanocytic proliferation. This new edition of the bestseller presents
an experience- and evidence-based review of pigmented lesions that encompasses the biology, diagnosis, and
treatment of melanocytic proliferations and disorders, including melanoma. It comes with over 300 new color
images—bringing the total to over 600—and contains two completely new chapters: Dermatoscopic Diagnosis of
Melanoma; and Reflectance Confocal Microscopy.

Chapter coverage includes:
- An approach to the clinical diagnosis of melanoma, its precursors, and its clinical mimics
- Freckles and lentigines
- Benign acquired nevi
- Dermal dendritic melanocytic proliferations/dermal melanocytoses
- Spitz nevus
- Combined nevus, deep penetrating nevus, plexiform spindle cell nevus, and borderline tumors of the deep
penetrating nevus variant
- Recurrent melanocytic nevus
- Congenital nevi
- Dysplastic melanocytic nevi, de novo intradermal epithelioid and lentiginous melanocytic dysplasias, and
nevi at specific anatomic sites
- Melanoma
- Conjunctival melanocytic proliferations
- Use of adjunctive immunoperoxidase, molecular, and ultrastructural studies in the diagnosis of
melanocytic proliferations
- Biology of melanoma
- Borderline melanocytic proliferation
- Dermatoscopic diagnosis of melanoma

- Reflectance confocal microscopy
- Therapy of melanoma

The Melanocytic Proliferations: A Comprehensive Textbook of Pigmented Lesions is an incredibly important text
for all clinical pathologists, dermatopathologists, surgical pathologists, dermatologists, cosmetic
physicians, and surgeons.
