Excellent book in the field of dermatopathology Oct 19, 2007
By A. F. SHERIF
"Mahmoud Farouk M. Sherif"
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.

great book Jun 05, 2005
By Derm Resident
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.

The Essential Primer for Dermpath Mar 27, 2009
By Jerad Gardner
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! Aug 01, 2005
By D. J Najarian
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.
 Very good Mar 03, 2012
By Dermpathie
So I guess I am going to be the one dissenter and not give this five stars. It is a great book I admit, but to be honest if I had to pick one book in residency (derm or path) I would pick Elston's dermpath book. If I had more money to donate to the field then I would buy Rapini (so I would eventually buy both), but Elston's has more images which in my opinion is paramount in learning dermpath. You can have all the text you would like, but if you can't see it in a picture, you can't recognize it when it hits your microscope. Elston's is a little cheaper as well. I think this book may be better for pathologists with a very poor understanding of dermatology, but Elston's book is much better for dermatologists (or even pathologists or pathologists in training) who already have a somewhat stronger background in clinical derm and need more help with morphology (and then rely on Weedon, Lever, Barnthill, McKee or "fill in favorite all encompassing dermpath text here" to fill in the gaps and details). This is still a great book, but I think the differential diagnosis section is a bit over-simplified and not as helpful as one would assume. Just my 2 cents. Not trying to knock it, but trying to help residents with what is turning into the proverbial question in pathology or dermatology training: "Which dermpath book should I buy . . . Elston or Rapini?"
