Pathology of Vascular Skin Lesions: Clinicopathologic Correlations / Edition 1

by Omar P. Sangüeza, Luis Requena

Overview

A comprehensive review of all the vascular proliferations involving the skin and subcutaneous tissue, including recently described disease entities. Superbly illustrated with both clinical and histopathologic photographs, the book moves from a proposed new system of classification and nomenclature for vascular neoplasms, to a full discussion of benign and malignant proliferations, including hamartomas, benign neoplasms, malignant neoplasms, and several related newly reported diseases. The authors describe in-depth the clinical and morphologic aspects of each entity and detail their clinicopathologic correlation, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy.

Editorial Reviews

...find a place on the shelves of those who are interested in this complex but exciting area of vascular tumors. The references are extensive, and would be useful when researching unusual conditions. - Eur J Plast Surg

"...only truly knowledgeable clinicians and pathologists can identify other rare malignant vascular tumors at an early enough point in their course to offer patients the possibility of a cure. I know of no better way to acquire this essential knowledge than from this masterful book." -Arch Dermatol
