Laboratory Medicine: Dermatology

Barnhill's Dermatopathology, 4th ed. by Raymond L. Barnhill; A. Neil Crowson; Cynthia M. Magro et al, 2020 For virtually every kind of skin lesion, this skill-sharpening resource has everything clinicians need to successfully perform differential diagnosis at the microscopic level. Barnhill's Dermatopathology features a systematic, algorithmic approach that cuts through the complexity of the discipline’s traditional disease-oriented focus, providing a ready-to-use diagnostic tool that puts the entire world of dermatopathology into perspective. This classic has won acclaim as the only dermatology pathology resource that is valuable for both teaching and for clinical practice and differential diagnosis. While other references may be more exhaustive, denser, or larger, none are more clinically useful as Barnhill's Dermatopathology. With 15% of the dermatology board and recertification examination consisting of dermatopathology topics, this is also an outstanding board review tool. Filled with hundreds of color photomicrographs, the book features a clear five-part organization and nearly forty detailed chapters―each reflecting the scientifically rigorous, up-to-date insights of authors who are acknowledged experts in the field. The book’s vast scope encompasses all skin disease processes―inflammatory, non-inflammatory, infections, and proliferations (harmatomas, hyperplasias, and neoplasms, plus disorders of nails and oral mucosa).

Dermatopathology: Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology, Third Edition by Klaus J. Busam; Pedram Gerami, 2025 The goal of the third edition of this textbook remains the same as before: an introductory to midlevel no-nonsense practical guide to the histopathologic diagnosis of skin disorders. We want to provide a book for residents in pathology or dermatology and fellows in dermatopathology that they can manage to read and use to deal with most daily encountered diagnostic challenges. In an effort to keep the book compact, compromises were necessary, which meant leaving out entities or mentioning some only briefly. As before, we minimized references to save space for text and illustrations with the same rationale—that we do not aim to provide an encyclopedic book, and readers can easily query online libraries on the Internet for primary references. We decided to put together a third edition of the book because significant updates were necessary. The field has advanced, especially in the area of molecular diagnostics. Most importantly, however, the third edition provides an opportunity to bring in a coeditor (Dr. Gerami) and new authors for major revisions of prior chapters and to add yet another new chapter (Pediatric Dermatopathology).

Weedon’s Skin Pathology, 6th ed. by James W. Patterson; Gregory A. Hosler; Karyn L. Prenshqw, 2025 Weedon’s Skin Pathology, 6th edition ! It has been a privilege for me to work on this volume. It has been both an educational and inspirational experience: educational, because the quantity and quality of new information in the field have been astounding; inspirational, because the new discoveries have come from all corners of the world—and all with the goals of developing a better understanding of cutaneous disease and improving the quality of life for our patients. Though some of this work may not seem to have a direct effect on diagnostic histopathology (yet), all of it, sooner or later, in one way or another, will have an impact, and mostly for the good. Though there is much new information in the basic sciences that form the bedrock for our specialty and are an important part of this book, the emphasis continues to be on practical histopathology—still often the “gold standard” for determining the diagnosis of cutaneous diseases and providing guidance for their subsequent evaluation and management. Differential diagnosis has been a focus, information on dermoscopy and confocal laser microscopy has again been included, and a number of new figures have been added.
