With 300 full-color illustrations of 191 separate cases commonly encountered in general dermatologic practice, Dermoscopy: An Illustrated Guide
offers a unique check-list methodology for learning how to use
dermoscopy to diagnose benign and malignant pigmented and non-pigmented
skin lesions.
For each of the 191 cases, you will find a

with a short history. Every case is followed by five true-or-false

are presented again. Circles, stars, boxes, and arrows appear in the
image pointing out the important dermoscopic criteria of each case.
