Description
An Atlas of Hair Pathology with Clinical Correlations, 2nd Edition is the first fully comprehensive textbook dedicated to the microscopic pathology of hair disorders, addressing a challenging and often underrepresented area in pathology and dermatopathology training. Designed to support accurate diagnosis of hair disease, the book provides clear, structured guidance for evaluating hair biopsy specimens, an area where many clinicians and pathologists lack formal instruction.
Serving as a primer, atlas, and reference text, the book adopts a step-by-step approach, assuming minimal prior knowledge of hair pathology. It begins with essential foundations, including hair anatomy, specimen processing, and the practical principles of histological evaluation. As an atlas, it features an extensive collection of high-quality photomicrographs illustrating both basic and advanced histopathological features of hair disorders. As a reference, it presents up-to-date information in a concise synopsis format, enabling quick consultation in clinical practice.
Basic clinical features of hair diseases are reviewed alongside histological findings to ensure strong clinical–pathological correlation, a key strength of this edition. The content is drawn largely from the author’s long-term collection of histological specimens and clinical photographs, allowing for exceptionally reliable diagnostic correlations.
While dermatopathologists are the primary audience, general pathologists and dermatologists who manage patients with hair loss and other hair disorders will also find this atlas an invaluable resource for improving diagnostic confidence and patient care.
