This unique resource helps readers train themselves in the use of direct skinmicroscopy (dermoscopy) in order to differentiate and diagnose pigmented skinlesions! This resource is not simply a review book, but is also a structured learning tool for any physician who is increasing their knowledge in this new diagnostic area of dermatology. Because dermoscopy is a visual skill of pattern recognition, there is a significant learning curve to attain mastery. This book was designed to allow the novice or experienced dermatologist to assess their skills as well as to teach clinically relevant dermoscopy from A to Z and everything in between. In more than 150 progressively more difficult cases, the reader is presented with a case history and unlabeled dermatoscopic images. They are then asked to determine the potential risk, diagnosis, treatment likely outcome and also presented with 4-5 multiple choice questions. Upon turningthe page, they see the same image with labels on the key features and answersto all questions. INDICE: Preface Acknowledgments 1. Dermoscopy from A to Z 2. Scalp, Face, Nose and Ears 3.
