Description
About the Book
"Many things have changed since 2014, when I completed the previous edition of this book. The World Health Organization (WHO) published in 2017 an update of the Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues, and in 2019 the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), together with a WHO panel, published the first update since 2005 of the Classification of cutaneous lymphomas. In the new classifications all entities of cutaneous lymphomas have been updated, and some new ones were added. In this context, the book has been modified to reflect the new classification schemes. Molecular data are being increasingly used for diagnosis and classification of haematological malignancies, particularly for precise categorization of leukemias. On the other hand, access to state-of-the-art molecular techniques is still very limited: in fact, the vast majority of colleagues who report cases of cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders make diagnoses based mostly on histopathological and phenotypical features combined with clinical aspects, thus the core of the book is still focused on a traditional clinicopathological approach to diagnosis. All relevant molecular data, of course, are discussed as well"--Book Synopsis
A complete guide to the diagnosis and management of cutaneous lymphomas and pseudolymphomas
Easily misdiagnosed as benign skin diseases, malignant cutaneous lymphomas can present a variety of challenges to trainees and practicing specialists alike. Skin Lymphoma: The Illustrated Guide has been designed to alleviate some of these difficulties, providing all those working in the dermatological field with a complete and easily consulted text on this potentially fatal cancer. Authored by renowned dermatopathologist Professor Lorenzo Cerroni, its exhaustive contents cover the clinical presentations and pathological correlates of cutaneous lymphomas in their various forms, alongside their prognoses and strategies for treatment.
This expanded fifth edition features a wealth of enhancements and additions, including new chapters, updated content, and more than 1,300 full-color illustrations. Revised to reflect the most recent World Health Organization (WHO) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) classifications, its cutting-edge approach to its subject incorporates the latest molecular data, alongside more familiar histopathological and clinical features. The book's considerable scope has been broadened into new and groundbreaking areas, the details of which are explored in chapters discussing primary cutaneous acral CD8] T-cell lymphoma, composite lymphomas, and non-neoplastic cutaneous signs of systemic lymphomas, as well as in new sections on previously unexamined entities such as implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
- Fully updated with new genetic data and most recent WHO classifications
- Contains four newly written chapters
- Features unconventional presentation sections with commentary on diagnosis
- Includes more than 1,300 color illustrations
Skin Lymphoma: The Illustrated Guide is an indispensable resource forclinical dermatologists, dermatopathologists, and any other medical practitioners and trainees involved in the diagnosis and treatment of skin lymphomas.
