What people are saying about this book
Visual Recognition and Case Reviews by Christine J. Ko is a marvelous addition to any dermatologist's bookshelf, but it won't stay on the shelf for long. Reading through it feels like attending an excellent live-patient grand rounds with first rate discussion of each case. It offers case-based learning and visual atlas in one.
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
This is a visual atlas that correlates clinical findings with microscopic findings seen on biopsy. It teaches readers to mentally visualize on a cellular level what the underlying process could be.
