A Clinician's Guide to Dermatologic Differential Diagnosis ─ The Text

One of the most ambitious sets to be published in dermatology for some years, these comprehensive guides to dermatologic conditions, classified by physical findings, are referenced to current literature.

This unique high-quality road map through clinical dermatology should form part of the core library of every practicing dermatologist
