Foreword

Melanocytic tumors of the skin deserve special attention because of the following important facts

■ Melanoma is frequent and early detection is critical.

■ a correct interpretation is necessary because the implications may be very serious.

■ it is a dynamically developing field where major progress has been made over the past decade.

This atlas, written in a concise way, is a highly useful presentation that focuses on the full spec- trum of pigmented skin tumors. The prominent features include classical clinical as well as his- topathological criteria for diagnosis, illustrations of excellent quality, as well as new concepts and practical aspects of management. of special interest are modern diagnostic techniques with emphasis on dermatoscopy. Case studies and core messages indicating pathways of the diagnostic approach are at the end of each chapter.

all these features characterize the book as an impressive contribution to the literature in the area of melanocytic tumors.

My co-workers in Graz, Dr. H. Peter Soyer and Dr. rainer Hofmann-Wellenhof, as well as Dr. Giuseppe argenziano from Naples and Dr.

robert Johr from Miami, together with many international contributors who are all experts in their respective disciplines, have produced a splendid piece of work which presents highly relevant information on a complex and chal- lenging subject. This book will greatly assist physicians in providing optimal care for pa- tients with melanocytic skin lesions.

Preface

at the beginning of many scientific endeavors there is an idea shared by a small group of en- thusiastic people. This was the case with our group, friends and colleagues from austria, italy, and the United States. our idea was to write a color atlas of melanocytic skin lesions, with particular emphasis on the morphological dimension, using a systematic and logical approach. as practicing dermatologists with back- grounds in dermoscopy and dermatopathology, we wanted to describe the many faces of benign and malignant pigmented skin lesions based on clinico-pathological and dermoscopic−pathological correlations. Together with a large group of distinguished dermatologists from around the world, we prepared this atlas.

in 1894 Paul Gerson Unna published the text- book Histopathology of Skin Diseases. His well- known saying on the relationship between dermatology and histopathology has been slightly modified by us and now reads as follows: “The dermatologist is fortunate in being able to study the clinical and dermoscopic picture with his/

her histologically trained eye and the micro- scopic picture with his/her clinically and der- moscopically trained eye.” in this spirit we hope that you enjoy reading this atlas and that it will help you in your daily practice.
