Book excerpt: As essential a text for GPs as for dermatologists, this book is an atlas-like representation of the various forms of melanocytic skin lesions associated with cutaneous melanomas and other pigmented skin tumors. It is a comprehensive and up-to-date text on the practical issues surrounding the management of individuals with these lesions. It encompasses the classical methods of morphology such as the clinical and dermoscopic examination and dermatopathology. The book also deals with the most up-to-date diagnostic approaches such as laser scanning in-vivo microscopy and automated diagnosis. The visual ‘atlas’ includes superb clinical, dermoscopic and histopathologic images.
