Atlas of Skin Cancers

Skin cancers are encountered by practitioners in many specialties, but each type varies tremendously in clinical appearance. As a consequence, even dermatologists may experience difficulty in reaching a diagnosis. This atlas is intended as a practical resource that will help not only dermatologists but also primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and others to identify cancerous skin lesions correctly. Hundreds of high-quality color images are included to assist the reader in the task of diagnosis, and chapters are color-coded for ease of use. All of the common cutaneous malignancies are illustrated, with several examples of each entity and of common mimickers. In addition, biopsy techniques and treatment options are presented with the help of excellent clinical images, and potential complications of treatment are discussed. This atlas will be ideal for all providers who wish to sharpen their clinical acumen and gain confidence in identifying skin cancers.
