New and Emerging Entities in Dermatology and Dermatopathology

New and Emerging Entities in Dermatology and Dermatopathology is a comprehensive book that discusses the clinical and pathologic features of newly described or less well-known cutaneous disorders. It provides clinical findings, histologic, immunologic, and molecular features, and therapeutic notes. The first section covers cutaneous diseases without systemic implications, while the second section covers cutaneous diseases with systemic implications. Each chapter includes an atlas of clinical manifestations, photomicrographs, and recent updates on molecular tools. This book is a valuable resource for practicing dermatologists, internists, pathologists, general dermatologists, family practitioners, nurse practitioners, geneticists, immunologists, and other healthcare providers.

In recent years, a surge of novel, enigmatic, or poorly understood dermatological disorders has been unveiled, accompanied by a concerted effort to delineate and elucidate their clinical, histopathological, and etiopathogenetic characteristics. Acquaintance with these emerging or re-examined clinical entities holds paramount significance, as recognizing them accurately through differential diagnosis holds immense implications in clinical practice, ultimately leading to improved patient management. This comprehensive book delves into an in-depth exploration of the clinical and pathological features of newly described or less well-known cutaneous disorders. It presents not only clinical findings but also encompasses the histologic, immunologic, and molecular aspects of these diseases, along with therapeutic considerations. The first section of the book focuses on cutaneous conditions that lack systemic implications, including circumscribed palmoplantar hypokeratosis, necrotizing infundibular crystalline folliculitis, and dermal hyperneury, among others. The second section delves into cutaneous disorders with systemic implications, such as AESOP-POEMS syndrome, lipoatrophic panniculitis of children, and obesity-associated lymphedematous mucinosis. Within each chapter, an entity is meticulously described, accompanied by an atlas of clinical manifestations that serves as a valuable "bed-side" clinical reference. This is followed by a series of photomicrographs that depict the histologic changes associated with these disorders. Additionally, chapters provide up-to-date insights on molecular tools that aid in the diagnosis process, as well as therapeutic recommendations based on the latest advancements in the field. New and Emerging Entities in Dermatology and Dermatopathology is an indispensable resource for practicing dermatopathologists, internists, general pathologists, general dermatologists, family practitioners, nurse practitioners, geneticists, and immunologists. It serves as a comprehensive guide that empowers practitioners to stay abreast of the latest developments in the field, enabling them to provide optimal care for their patients.
