Differential diagnosis is at its most accurate and efficient when clinical presentation and histopathological features are considered in correlation with one another. With this being so, the expert team behind this atlas has integrated both perspectives to create an innovative and essential resource for all those involved with the diagnosis of tumors, cysts, and nevi. Almost 1,400 full-color images clearly illustrate common patterns and variants of tumorous lesions of the skin and are helpfully contextualized by concise, straightforward descriptions of key features and diagnostic clues. Whether they are aspiring or experienced practitioners, dermatologists and pathologists of all levels will find this an insightful and practically applicable addition to their bookshelf. Its far-reaching and easy-to-navigate coverage of relevant diseases of the skin provides trainees with an excellent grounding in the area, while practicing specialists may benefit from its use as a tool for the differential diagnoses of borderline cases. Atlas of Dermatopathology: Tumors, Nevi, and Cysts offers a uniquely balanced, clear, and comprehensive guide to what can be a difficult process, and will be of tremendous assistance tostudents, dermatologists, dermatopathologists, and pathologists everywhere.

Kunst schafft betörende Illusionen für unsere Sinne, die unser Gehirn zu einem erhabenen Glücksgefühl kata­lysiert. Bei den Gemälden «Grosser Meister» rezipiert der Betrachter das Ganze und übersieht oft Details, die im vor­liegenden Buch aus mehreren Tausend Kunstwerken aufge­spürt und aus der Perspektive der Dermatologie eingeord­net und vergleichend mit Krankheitsbildern interpretiert werden. Alterungsprozesse, Muttermale, Neubildungen, Veränderungen an Hautanhangsgebilden, Binde- und Fett­gewebe, an Gefässen und Nerven stören die Makellosigkeit des Inkarnats und wurden daher -wenn überhaupt- meist unbewusst ohne medizinische Sachkenntnis vom Künstler in der zweidimensionalen Form eines Portraits dargestellt. Hingegen werden bei den dreidimensionalen dermatolo­gischen Wachsmoulagen die krankhaften Veränderungen an der Haut in bester akademischer Absicht bewusst mög­lichst naturgetreu und wirklichkeitsnah abgebildet. Der Versuch einer Erkundung von Parallelen zwischen Hautdarstellungen einst und heute zeigt, dass sich am Per­fektionswahn und dem Streben nach Makellosigkeit des Inkarnates damals wie heute nichts geändert hat und die wirklichkeitsgetreue Darstellung häufig dem vermeintli­chen Schönheitsideal geopfert und alles Krankhafte oder Anormale verdeckt wird. Art creates beguiling illusions for our senses, which cat­alyzes our brain into a sublime feeling of happiness. In the paintings of "Great Masters", the viewer admires the whole painting and often overlooks details that are tracked down in the present book from several thousand works of art, clas­sified from the perspective of dermatology and interpreted comparatively with clinical pictures. Aging processes, moles, neoplasms, changes in skin appendages, connective and fatty tissue, vessels and nerves disturb the flawlessness of the in­carnate and were therefore - if at all - usually unconsciously depicted by the artist in the two-dimensional form of a por­trait without medical expertise. On the other hand, in the three-dimensional dermatologi­cal wax moulages, the pathological changes of the skin are deliberately depicted as realistically as possible with the best academic intentions. The attempt to explore parallels between skin representa­tions then and now shows that nothing has changed in the perfection mania and the striving for flawlessness of the in­carnate then as now and that the realistic representation is often sacrificed to the supposed ideal of beauty and every­thing pathological or abnormal is concealed.
