| Summary |
This comprehensive, yet user friendly, volume specifically focuses on cutaneous soft tissue tumors, one of the most challenging areas in dermatopathology. The text is richly illustrated and written in a user friendly fashion, by well-known experts in cutaneous soft tissue tumors, with an emphasis on a practical diagnostic approach. The text opens with a brief introduction on how to approach soft tissue tumors, followed by a guide to ancillary diagnostic tests and a thorough discussion of cutaneous soft tissue tumors and their non-mesenchymal mimics. The entities are described in terms of their clinical and pathologic features and differential diagnoses. Key pathologic features are summarized in a table format. Soft Tissue Tumors of the Skin will be of great value to surgical pathologists and dermatopathologists as well as residents and fellows in pathology and dermatology |
