Download or read book Atlas of Skin Cancers written by Ali Hendi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-24 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of skin cancer has risen rapidly in recent decades, and patients often present initially to practitioners in many different specialties. Because skin cancer can vary in clinical appearance, even dermatologists may experience difficulty in reaching a clinical diagnosis. For primary care physicians and physician extenders (physician assistants, nurses, and nurse practitioners), who have had very little or no formal training in dermatology, the task can be still more daunting. In this atlas, the authors set out to provide a practical resource that will help improve the 'visual vocabulary' of physicians and physician extenders, helping them identify lesions that should be biopsied. Hundreds of high-quality color images are included to assist the reader in the task of recognition and identification. All of the common cutaneous malignancies are illustrated, with a number of examples of each entity and of common mimickers. In addition, biopsy techniques and treatment options are presented in step-by step detail with the use of high resolution clinical images, and potential complications of treatment are discussed. This atlas is ideal for all providers who wish to sharpen their clinical acumen and gain confidence in identifying skin cancers.

Download or read book Atlas of Black Skin written by Ali Moiin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As both experience and evidence-based findings indicate, specific dermatological conditions can prove harder to diagnose in patients with darker skin tones. Lack of knowledge or experience can compromise effective treatment and management, leading to lasting consequences for the patient. This atlas strives to supplement a lack of real world experience by providing more than 800 hundred high quality photographs and illustrations help guide physicians in treating the nuances of darker skinned patient populations. Dr. Moiin's own professional experience in treating patients of color on a daily basis and the sheer volume with which he is acquainted with these diseases on darker skin, enable him to provide broader insight and include a myriad of photos to better illustrate diagnoses and treatment plans. Photos range from common to rare diseases to aid in delineating nuances in diseases. Since dermatology is a highly visual field, the focus is more on the images, while the text is comprehensive but concise and often bulleted to allow for practical use. Written for residents and practicing dermatologists and all other medical professionals, Atlas of Black Skin is an essential tool for practitioners looking to broaden the scope of their care.

Download or read book Atlas of Cutaneous Lymphomas written by Joi B. Carter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This atlas contains excellent clinical and histopathologic images and text of each of the types of cutaneous lymphoma (around 25 entities). It is the first go-to text for those who are considering a diagnosis of cutaneous lymphoma in their differential diagnosis. The text also includes diagnostic mimics of lymphoma and differential diagnosis tables and algorithms. The target audience is general practitioners, dermatologists, pathologists and students, residents and fellows. The diagnosis of lymphoma in the skin is confounded by the myriad of disorders that can mimic lymphoma clinically and histopathologically and by inconsistencies in the diagnostic classification that have only recently been resolved. In the last decade the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Cutaneous Lymphoma Group and the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborated in a series of workshops and consensus meetings to arrive at a definitive classification scheme for cutaneous lymphoma. Unfortunately, the publication by the WHO that described this schema included all lymphomas and has the skin tumors scattered throughout the volume. There is currently no go to text for those who are considering a diagnosis of cutaneous lymphoma in their differential diagnosis. As a result there continues to be confusion about the diagnosis of cutaneous lymphoma, although this classification scheme was published in 2008.
Download or read book Atlas of Anatomic Reconstruction After Skin Cancer Surgery written by Terrence A. Cronin, Sr and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This atlas offers comprehensive coverage of surgical reconstruction after skin cancer surgery. There are many ways to repair surgical wounds caused by the removal of skin cancer. Different considerations are often taken into account and frequently one of the most fruitful discussions when doctors gather is seeing how other surgeons repair the same wound. These differences are intriguing, often demonstrating the artistic skill involved in the technique. This atlas will offer surgical cases with each page demonstrating a logical and reproducible method of repairing a wound at a given anatomic location. Using unique 6 paneled grids for each anatomical location covered, chapters show the variety of possibilities for closure of similar wounds. Chapters will also show the work of many invited experts within dermatology and plastic surgery and include their distinct commentary and expertise. The Atlas of Anatomic Reconstruction After Skin Cancer Surgery is written for dermatologists, facial plastic surgeons, plastic surgeons and those in training programs, residencies, and fellowships. This atlas will allow ready access for surgeons to a menu for successful wound closures and would be enjoyable and educational to new and experienced surgeons alike.
