Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent book
If you ever owned the old McKee - mine is falling apart from constant use - this is bigger and better than the first. If you are a practicing dermatologist and read your own slides or if you are in residency - this is a must have book. The text is well written, the clinical correlation is excellent and the pathology and histo-path images are superb.

Still, the encyclopedic nature and detailed descriptions of these disorders is par excellent. ... Read More

The present edition fortifies the text with the addition of new chapters on oral mucosal ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is the best book of pathology of skin disease
Ordinarily, an diagosis of skin disease shouid be established on both clinical and pathological findings. This book is very useful for me in point of aggregating both findings. In addition, It is easy for me, being poor in English, to read.
