Pathology of Vascular Skin Lesions Clinicopathologic Correlations [Hardcover]

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.A comprehensive review of all the vascular proliferations involving the skin and subcutaneous tissue, including recently described disease entities.
