Review: Skin Lymphoma. The Illustrated Guide, 4th edition, by Lorenzo Cerroni
نویسنده
چکیده
Lorenzo Cerroni is the sole author of the fourth edition of this wonderful book on a most difficult, complex and confusing subject: cutaneous lymphoma. The former three editions were co-authored by Helmut Kerl, who recently retired, and Kevin Gatter, who now focuses on his work on bone marrow diagnosis. I do not doubt for a single second that Dr. Cerroni’s task has been, as stated by him, “Herculean.” The book is remarkably organized and presented. Its reading is easy and its iconography outstanding, both clinically and histopathologically. It is very “user friendly,” its size being reasonable (425 pages). Most of all (and this is the main reason for buying a book!) it is easily, efficiently and usefully consulted when one is facing a difficult case. For many years I have used regularly the former editions of this guide and I am certain I will continue to use this new edition for many more years. Last and not least, many chapters are supplemented with very instructive teaching cases that illustrate the never overestimated importance of clinico-pathological correlations and of open-mindedness in dealing with cutaneous lymphomas. The structure of Cerroni’s book is similar to that of the preceding editions. The various lesions are grouped under the following headings: (1) NK/T-cell lymphomas, (2) B-cell lymphomas, (3) Lymphomas in immunosuppressed individuals, (4) Leukemias and precursor hematologic neoplasms, (5) Hodgkin’s lymphoma, (6) Lymphomas in children and adolescents, (7) Pseudolymphomas and (8) “atypical lymphoid Review: Skin Lymphoma.
