Dermatology Terminology
By Herbert Allen
2009 (1st ed), 197 pages, 141 illus, $60 list
Dermatology terminology describes
dermatological diseases using the language that dermatologists actually use in
speaking to each other. With many disorders, the description can be reduced to
a word, or a phrase, or an acronym. This is termed the "keyword"
phenomenon, where such a keyword substitutes for a much fuller and much
lengthier formal presentation. The
keyword, together with a photo of the disease it represents, will
be coupled with a short description and a literature reference for that
disease.
