Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Renata H. Mullen, MD (Palo Alto Medical Foundation)
Description: This is a compilation of dermatologic clinical cases encountered in a medical practice, written in a vignette style.
Purpose: According to the authors, the purpose is to provide a companion for ongoing and continuing medical education. These are worthy objectives, which are, for the most part, met.
Audience: The intended readers are non-dermatologists, an appropriate audience, and the book meets their needs. The authors are credible authorities, based on their credentials and publications.
Features: The book presents clinical cases that highlight many common and several uncommon dermatologic conditions encountered in a medical practice. They span the spectrum of infectious, inflammatory, autoimmune, neoplastic, paraneoplastic, allergic, drug-induced, and congenital disorders. The vignette style engages readers and the explanations at the end of the vignettes offer good didactic information. The major shortcoming of the book is the quality of the illustrations. Many are too dark or too small to truly highlight the salient features of the cutaneous entity, which is important for a visual subspecialty such as dermatology.
Assessment: This is a readable and enjoyable book that is helpful in highlighting presentations of various skin disorders. It is not meant to be comprehensive, yet it offers much information.
