specificity will be discussed. The chapters are thematically based and consist
of essential bullet points arranged in organized outlines allowing for easy

Inflammatory Dermatoses
By Bruce Smoller
2010 (1st ed), 315 pages, 323 illus, $60 list
Inflammatory
Dermatoses: The Basics will serve as an effective and efficient handbook
for the student of dermatopathology, and as a practical bench reference for the
practicing diagnostician who desires rapid access to criteria that are useful
in differentiating histologically similar entities. The reader will be able to
focus upon a single histologic observation, i.e., inflammatory conditions
without epidermal changes, and use this as a starting point from which to build
a differential diagnosis based upon pattern recognition. As each entity is
addressed, there will be a concise discussion of the basic clinical findings
and epidemiologic associations. This will be followed by a histologic
description, highlighting areas that serve to discriminate between the entity
under discussion and similar ones. Any immunologic studies that might augment
the diagnostic sensitivity or specificity will be discussed.

opportunities for diagnostic and therapeutic advances. It offers practical how
to advice on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, and also insight into how to
establish a multidisciplinary Merkel cell carcinoma clinic. In addition, it
will serve as a unique resource for trainees (medical students, residents and
fellows) as well as for Merkel cell carcinoma patients and their advocates and
caregivers.
