Stolz: Color Atlas of Dermatoscopy
By Wilhelm Stolz
2009 (3rd ed),
240 pages, 500 illus, $180 list
The continuous, worldwide demand for this standard atlas has
encouraged the authors and publishers to prepare an updated and enlarged third
edition. Dermatoscopy is a relatively new technique
and allows the doctor to make a rapid and highly accurate assessment of whether
a pigmented lesion (mole) is likely to be malignant. Otherwise, the patient
would have to undergo a biopsy and laboratory analysis of the specimen. Thus, a
dermatoscope, costing a 100
dollars, can save lives, or at least, the high costs of unnecessary surgery.
This book is a highly visual guide to the subject and will teach the necessary
pattern recognition skills. It really is an atlas, in that, it contains over
500 high resolution colour photographs with detailed
accompanying diagrams to explain how to recognise the
key diagnostic features of each lesion. The main focus of the book is the daily
challenge which physicians face when evaluating patients with pigmented
lesions.
