Weedon's Skin Pathology, 5th Edition, by James W. Patterson, provides an encyclopedic dermatopathology reference designed to guide the microscopic interpretation of cutaneous specimens. The work assists dermatopathologists, general pathologists, and dermatologists in evaluating established diseases, rare entities, and incompletely defined conditions.
The volume addresses both inflammatory and neoplastic conditions across cutaneous medicine. Coverage spans fundamental tissue reaction patterns, infectious diseases, and an extensive array of skin tumors, illustrated by more than 1,200 large images.
Prepared for clinicians and trainees, this 2020 edition expands discussion of molecular diagnostic techniques and synthesizes diagnostic criteria across quick-reference tables and boxes.
