Pediatric Dermoscopy Trichoscopy Onychoscopy

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, widely used diagnostic tool that aids the diagnosis of skin lesions and is proven to increase the accuracy of melanoma diagnosis. Trichoscopy is the dermoscopic imaging of the scalp and hair. The method is based on dermoscopy and videodermoscopy and is used for the evaluation and diagnosis of hair and scalp diseases. Onychoscopy is the dermoscopic imaging of the nail used for the diagnosis of nail disorders. This book is a comprehensive guide to the imaging and diagnosis of skin, hair and nail disorders in children. Divided into five sections, the text begins with an overview of dermoscopy and instruments. Section Two covers the use of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of paediatric skin diseases including melanocytic lesions, eczemas, and infections. The third section discusses techniques for trychoscopy and the identification of various hair disorders including alopecias and hair shaft disorders; and Section Four explains onychoscopy and nail disorders. The book concludes with a selection of case scenarios. Key points Comprehensive guide to imaging and diagnosis of paediatric skin, hair and nail conditions Covers dermoscopy, trichoscopy and onychoscopy of numerous diseases and disorders Features case scenarios to enhance learning Highly illustrated with more than 450 clinical photographs, diagrams and figures

This atlas, containing a wealth of clinical and dermoscopic images, describes and illustrates the applications of dermoscopy in a wide variety of skin disorders that may be encountered in the pediatric population. Key features and other salient aspects are highlighted with the aim of enabling the clinician to reach a fast and reliable diagnosis in all cases. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive technique that allows rapid and magnified in vivo observation of the skin, with visualization of morphologic features imperceptible to the naked eye. Dermoscopy has revolutionized the approach to pigmented skin lesions, greatly improving diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, over the past few years it has been demonstrated to be very useful in the diagnosis, follow-up, and therapeutic monitoring of a range of other skin disorders, including cutaneous/mucosal infections, ectoparasitoses, inflammatory diseases, and hair and nail abnormalities. Being non-invasive, dermoscopy is particularly suitable for use in the pediatric population, in which invasive diagnostic procedures may be problematic.

This lavishly illustrated guide from experts will enable practitioners to get the most out of dermoscopy for investigations and treatments in general dermatology.

When the first edition of this pioneering text was published, only a few dermatologists were trained to utilize the dermatoscope for the diagnosis and follow-up of hair diseases. The technique is now more popular worldwide, prompting the development of this updated second edition, which now includes a section devoted entirely to nail dermoscopy and

This atlas presents dermoscopic-histopathological correlations of dermatologic and pathological presentations seen in the Asian subcontinent. The disorders have been explained with the help of state of the art clinical, dermoscopic and pathological figures of various entities in skin of color. The format has been kept simple and easy to understand which is deciphered through dermoscopic and histopathological correlation. This title also emphasizes on atypical presentations and rare dermoscopic features with the help of thorough description covering clinical and pathological manifestations, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis. Written for dermatologists, dermato-pathologists, dermoscopists and residents of dermatology, this atlas is a detailed visual guide to effectively evaluate and diagnose various skin disorders.

Bringing together thousands of the best dermatologic clinical and pathological photographs and figures from researchers and scientists around the world, this volume focuses on the most prevalent dermatologic disorders as they relate to cutaneous infectious and neoplastic conditions and procedural dermatology. It includes atypical presentations of various disorders, giving insight into differential diagnoses, helping to familiarize the reader with some of the rarest dermatologic disorders. Atlas of Dermatology, Dermatopathology and Venereology Volume 3 is written for dermatologists, dermatopathologists, and residents and summarizes data regarding any dermatologic disorder and syndrome. Each entry includes an introduction, clinical and pathological manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment and prognosis. div>/div/div/div
