Dermoscopy and Dermatopathology Dermatoscopy in Clinical Practice Beyond Pigmented Lesions Edited by
Giuseppe Micali and Francesco Lacarrubba
Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of Cutaneous Tumors An Atlas with Clinical, Dermoscopic and Histological Correlations
Dermoscopy is increasingly being used in general dermatology practice as a noninvasive technique for the differential diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions. Videodermatoscopy—dermoscopy using a digital system—allows a higher-magnified observation of the skin surface and has been used for other investigations with some success, such as monitoring the progress of therapy for dermatologic conditions. This book advances knowledge of these additional uses of videodermatoscopy beyond the usual indication for pigmented lesions of the skin.
Edited by
• Discusses therapy for scabies and pediculosis
This color atlas examines the potential of the technology and its possible applications for clinical practitioners involved in the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers. The book explores how RCM allows dermatologists to optically section an area of skin without the need for physical sectioning, which is ideal for examining detailed features of a skin lesion without troubling the patient for a biopsy specimen. It also explains how dermatopathologists can determine the best location for a section and how dermatological surgeons can determine the margins of a lesion to be excised.

Specialist Scenarios Morgellon’s Syndrome Evidence of a Microorganism Causing an Unexplained Dermopathy
Ethnic Dermatology Clinical Problems and Skin Pigmentation, Second Edition Clive B. Archer Bristol Dermatology Centre, UK
David Conroy
Praise for the First Edition:
Morgellon’s syndrome is the name given to a cluster of symptoms, including pruritis, erythematous dermatological irritation, and excoriations; the defining feature is the spontaneous exodus of fibers from the epidermis in affected individuals. This book demonstrates evidence of this microorganism infecting a person complaining of a dermopathy and fibers spontaneously exiting the dermis of a person who was diagnosed with delusional parasitosis. The organism is likely a fungus that lives beneath the epidermis with the ability to infect common fibers, including cotton, feathers, and hair follicles.
“… an excellent pictorial reference of comparative dermatology … What sets this text apart … is that it not only illustrates the characteristics and morphological features of a wide variety of cutaneous disorders in black skin, but perhaps even more importantly illustrates and contrasts these characteristics with the unique manifestations of corresponding disorders in patients with white skin … This text is invaluable … The photographs are superb.”
Selected Contents: Introduction: Why the Investigation Was Started. Materials and Methodology. Evidence not Recorded on Videotape. The Phenomenon of the Disappearing Hair Follicles. Particles Entering the Eyes. Particles Exiting the Eyes. A Substance That Transverses the Optic Globe. The Irregular Iris. Particles That Exit the Feet. Particles That Enter the Feet. The Microorganism Mobility. An Internal Propulsion System. Green Feet Illuminate the Role of the Epidermis in the Life-Cycle of the Microorganism. Coated Hairs under the Microscope. The Microorganism Possibly Growing on a Piece of Cocaine. A Summary of the Observations. The Structure of the Microorganism. A Model Accounting for the Observed Phenomena. Is There a Cure? Future Considerations: A Microorganism as an Etiology for Delusional Parasitosis. Catalog no.
