Although endocrine, metabolic, and deposition diseases are regularly included in general textbooks of dermatology and dermatopathology, one gains the general impression that these topics receive little emphasis and are mainly included for completeness. The prospect of having all of this information in one volume, lovingly described and detailed by experts in the field, should be of great interest not only to dermatologists, pathologists, and dermatopathologists but also to internists and endocrinologists, who may well gain a different perspective on these disorders.
The Clinical and Pathological Aspects of Skin Diseases in Endocrine, Metabolic, Nutritional, and Deposition Disease by Franco Rongioletti and Bruce R. Smoller fills the gap by detailing heterogeous group of conditions, which are often covered scantily and found scattered in different sections of other dermatopathology textbooks. In a compact yet comprehensive way, this text and atlas covers these dreaded disorders. The blend of tables and photographs provides a concise and user-friendly format. The combined experience of the editors Drs. Rongioletti and Smoller and their coauthors gives this book a distinct advantage.
