This atlas-like presentation covers the various faces of melanocytic
skin lesions of cutaneous melanomas and other pigmented skin tumors. It
encompasses the classical methods of morphology such as the clinical and
dermoscopic examination and dermatopathology as well as the most
up-to-date diagnostic approaches such as laser scanning in-vivo
microscopy and automated diagnosis. The core of this book represents an
atlas with excellent clinical, dermoscopic and histopathologic images on
melanocytic nevi, various types of melanomas and relevant other
pigmented skin tumors including basal-cell carcinomas. Each of these
well illustrated entities is presented following the same structure
characterized by definition, clinical and dermoscopic features, relevant
clinical differential diagnosis as well as practical aspects of
management. Core messages will recapitulate the most pertinent facets of
each entity. This text informs the reader on all practical issues of the
modern-day management of individuals with melanocytic skin lesions.
