De la contraportada

The Cutaneous Lymphoid Proliferations is the go-to reference for a complete, authoritative treatment of the clinical features, phenotype, pathogenesis, histopathology, diagnosis, and treatment of lymphocytic infiltrates of the skin. This second edition incorporates the latest findings from the fields of light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry and brings readers up to date with the most current thinking in the field.

The book starts off with a clinical atlas and introduction to the ontogeny and biology of the lymphoid system. Next, the authors explore novel molecular approaches to the diagnosis of cutaneous lymphoid proliferation and benign lymphocytic infiltrates. The remaining chapters concentrate on major inflammatory skin diseases and lymphoproliferative disorders, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, lupus, adult T cell leukemia, and primary cutaneous Hodgkin's disease.
