Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 9 1 2 Next » The Essential Primer for Dermpath March 27, 2009 Jerad Gardner (Houston,TX) Rapini has incredible skill at distilling the complex and convoluted world of dermpath into this succinct yet thorough book. Not only is it an outstanding introduction to dermpath for pathology and dermatology residents and fellows, but it is an excellent reference to use when attempting to piece together various morphologic features that do not instantly form a recognizable pattern. The differential diagnoses listed at the front of the book make this a great book to keep beside the scope. I agree that the images with arrows and labels make the illustrations much more useful than some other texts. Additionally, the book contains numerous teaching pearls that are helpful for memorization and are very useful for educators to incorporate into their teaching style. "Practical" is the right name for this book. Go to Derm-path book August 20, 2008 Deron E. Arnold (MN USA) This is the first derm book I go to when I have a challenging rash. In the inside front cover I have a copy of Ackerman's algorithms which I also frequently use. The best thing about this book is it's practicality. You see a feature on the glass slide (e.g. neutrophilic spongiosis) and then you go to the first chapter which lists all the conditions associated with neutrophilic spongiosis. Each entry in this list is indexed to a discussion of the disease elsewhere in the book (see below). These features are extremely easy to find and are well-organized. It acts almost like a specialized table of contents/index. After the first chapter, the book is divided into a fairly standard pattern of organization. Each disease entity reveals short, pithy entries about a surprising number of diseases. From the thin size of the book, I wasn't expecting too much breadth here...but I was pleasantly surprised. Another feature I find helpful is that throughout the book, there are references to other parts of the book. For example, in the entry on psoriasis, the differential diagnosis not only lists the various histologic look-alikes, but also gives an exact location in the book where that disaease process is discussed. And, as always, the entries are very easy to find. As expected there is not a lot of depth. For further histologic information, I would recommend Weedon. For further clinical information, I use Bolognia. If you want both in the same book, I would recommend McKee. (I have all three as well as the Rapini book.) I am a general pathologist with no formal sub-specialty training who has been practicing 5 years in the "real world". I see mainly skin, GI, and GYN in my practice along with breast and prostate. I use Rapini about 2 times a week. I only use it for the dermatitides...not tumors. It's not that its coverage of tumors is necessarily poor...I just haven't used it for that yet. Also, I haven't used the CD-Rom. A must November 11, 2007 pathology 506 This is a must for every dermpath resident, general pathologist and even dermatologist. Easy to carry on, has the most relevant info for the most common skin conditions. It has a different, very intuitive approach to evaluate a biopsy, not only guided by patterns, but also with the clinical features, which are critical to a well oriented diagnosis. It may look thin, but I can assure you that it will be your first reference book!. Excellent book in the field of dermatopathology October 19, 2007 A. F. SHERIF (Egypt) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful I usually prefer the book that had been written by one expert author over than that multi-author ones. This book is divided into 30 chapters. The first one is the most fruitful one. It illustrates 150 diffenetial diagnoses. The headings of these differentails are sorted alphebatically. They include histopathologic parameters such as spongiosis, papillomatosis, acantholysis, ... etc; and also include clinical findings like comedones, painful lesions, ... etc. The author considered that the approach for accurate diagnosis have to be guided, in certain situations, by the clinical information from the start rather that a certain histopathologic parameter, so that the pathologist should be aware about some clinical differentials. The author explained the meaning of each heading in this chapter. "What is the meaning of spongiosis ?" before mention the possible differential diagnosis. Not only the meaning is given but also the differences between that finding and similar looking ones are justified. The differences between spongiosis and acantholysis are demonstrated before mentioning the diagnositc possibilities of spongiosis. Each one of the diagnostic possibilites is written with a reference to its location within this book chapters. For example, within the list of differential of spongiosis I found "Pityriasis rosea (2.4)". (2.4) means I can find the details of such disease within chapter 2, heading 4. The details of pathogenesis, complications, and treatment as well as normal skin histology are not included in this book, the author said that "the reader can readily find this information in some of the major textbooks listed at the end of this book". The illustrations are very technically excellent and expressive. The other book chapters are named as any textbook "Malanocytic neoplasms, Subepidermal vesicular disease, Vasculitis, ...". The details are concise and easy to read. The included CD contains all the images within the book for their use in electronic presentations. This book makes the way to be a good dermatopathologist easier. Practical Dermatopathology March 18, 2007 Ahmed Eghlileb (uk) The product with excellent quality and well organised and I hope all ur product is similar to this book which I think is one of best three deematopatholgy books.
