Melanocytic Lesions: A Case Based ApproachÂ{u0CAF}vides a concise yet comprehensive guidelineÂ{uFBA0}how to diagnose common as well as problematic and challenging melanocytic lesions.Â{u2809}In the first 11 chapters, each entityÂ{u9CE0}illustrated by an actual case; followed by discussion of how the diagnosis is reached, of the histologic differential diagnoses, and of diagnostic pitfalls; and ends with bulleted teaching points.Â{u2810}Pertinent and up to date referencesÂ{u1CA5} included at the end of each chapter. The latter chaptersÂ{u3BF6}er current microstaging and classification of melanoma, ancillary techniques including immunohistochemistry as well as available molecular assays and molecular targeted therapy.Â{u0365}lanocytic Lesions: A Case Based Approach serves as a useful resource for pathologists, dermatologists and researchers dealing with melanocytic lesions.Â{u282E}.
