Volume 1: The Text
One of the most ambitious texts to be published in dermatology for some years, this is a comprehensive guide to dermatologic conditions, classified by physical findings, and referenced to current literature. There are 284 entries, arranged alphabetically. The art and science of clinical dermatology rest with the ability of the clinician to formulate an appropriate differential diagnosis by defining and synthesizing the physical findings; this book serves as a guide in that quest, and will be both educational and stimulating to dermatologists at all levels of training and practice.
Volume 1 is an extremely detailed listing of differential diagnostic possibilities, with titles such as cutis laxa-like appearance, figurative erythemas, painful tumors, or syndactyly. In the case of the more common issues such as papules, there are multiple possibilities-crusted, digital, dirty brown, distal-digital-white, facial solitary, flat-topped, and many more. Under each category, the differential diagnostic considerations are broken down into categories such as autoimmune disease, congenital disorders, drugs, exogenous agents, infections, syndromes, and other and other appropraite divisions.
