This is a necessary book that provides useful information for both clinicians and pathologists. ... This is a unique, comprehensive source of information for melanocytic lesion histopathology, and a likely must have for pathologists, dermatopathologists, and dermatologists. (Susan M. Swetter, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2014)
