This atlas offers comprehensive clinical and dermoscopic images to illustrate the use of dermoscopy in diagnosing various skin disorders in children, emphasizing its non-invasive nature and diagnostic accuracy.
The Atlas of Pediatric Dermatoscopy is a comprehensive resource that presents an extensive collection of clinical and dermoscopic images, focusing on the application of dermoscopy across a range of skin disorders commonly seen in children. This atlas serves as both a visual guide and a practical reference for clinicians, highlighting key features and important aspects of various conditions to facilitate quick and accurate diagnoses.
Dermoscopy is a non-invasive technique that enables clinicians to observe the skin in detail, revealing morphological characteristics that are often not visible to the naked eye. This method has transformed the evaluation of pigmented skin lesions, significantly enhancing diagnostic precision. In recent years, its utility has expanded beyond pigmented lesions, proving effective in diagnosing and monitoring a variety of other skin conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, and issues related to hair and nails.
Given its non-invasive nature, dermoscopy is particularly advantageous for pediatric patients, where traditional invasive diagnostic methods may pose challenges. The atlas not only provides a wealth of images but also emphasizes the importance of dermoscopy in improving patient care in the pediatric population. By equipping clinicians with the necessary tools and knowledge, this atlas aims to enhance the diagnostic process and ultimately contribute to better treatment outcomes for young patients with skin disorders.
“This is a very useful book illustrating the most common skin diseases in children. … Each chapter describes in a comprehensive manner the diagnosis and etiology of the disorder followed by a series of photos (regular and with the dermatoscop). … Of high technical quality, the authors and publisher should be commended.” (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), Vol. 16 (1), September, 2018)
