Great book for the beginning student to the office based practitioner. Finally a good dermpath book with arrows. I think you know what I mean. This is definately a musthave atlas. Get it.

I usually prefer the book that had been written by one expert author over than that multi-author ones. This book is divided into 30 chapters. The first one is the most fruitful one. It illustrates 150 diffenetial diagnoses. The headings of these differentails are sorted alphebatically. They include histopathologic parameters such as spongiosis, papillomatosis, acantholysis, ... etc; and also include clinical findings like comedones, painful lesions, ... etc. The author considered that the approach for accurate diagnosis have to be guided, in certain situations, by the clinical information from the start rather that a certain histopathologic parameter, so that the pathologist should be aware about some clinical differentials.
The author explained the meaning of each heading in this chapter. "What is the meaning of spongiosis ?" before mention the possible differential diagnosis. Not only the meaning is given but also the differences between that finding and similar looking ones are justified. The differences between spongiosis and acantholysis are demonstrated before mentioning the diagnositc possibilities of spongiosis.
Each one of the diagnostic possibilites is written with a reference to its location within this book chapters. For example, within the list of differential of spongiosis I found "Pityriasis rosea (2.4)". (2.4) means I can find the details of such disease within chapter 2, heading 4.
The details of pathogenesis, complications, and treatment as well as normal skin histology are not included in this book, the author said that "the reader can readily find this information in some of the major
textbooks listed at the end of this book".
The illustrations are very technically excellent and expressive.
The other book chapters are named as any textbook "Malanocytic neoplasms, Subepidermal vesicular disease, Vasculitis, ...". The details are concise and easy to read.
The included CD contains all the images within the book for their use in electronic presentations.
This book makes the way to be a good dermatopathologist easier.
The Essential Primer for Dermpath March 27, 2009

Rapini has incredible skill at distilling the complex and convoluted world of dermpath into this succinct yet thorough book. Not only is it an outstanding introduction to dermpath for pathology and dermatology residents and fellows, but it is an excellent reference to use when attempting to piece together various morphologic features that do not instantly form a recognizable pattern. The differential diagnoses listed at the front of the book make this a great book to keep beside the scope. I agree that the images with arrows and labels make the illustrations much more useful than some other texts. Additionally, the book contains numerous teaching pearls that are helpful for memorization and are very useful for educators to incorporate into their teaching style. "Practical" is the right name for this book.
It's digestable! August 1, 2005

As a second year resident, I like this dermpath review book a lot. Pictures are color! Descriptions are high yield and not overwhelming. Really enjoy referring to this book.

This book is very concise and to the point. Has the most important and characteristic conditions. Great book to carry around (vs. the other very large dermatopathology books).
