This is the indispensable solution to those problematic eponyms that constitute some of the hardest medical terminology for any healthcare professional to absorb and recall. Typically an eponym bears no apparent association with the disease, condition, or medical term it represents. For example, Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome gives no indication of what the syndrome is, or who are the people for which it is named? With this one reliable, efficient resource, you can obtain the complete meaning of more than 1,000 dermatologic eponyms and use them precisely every time.

Inside you’ll find:

• More than 1,000 entries of up-to-date definitions and detailed illustrations of common and not-so-common dermatologic eponyms, making this volume the most comprehensive reference on dermatology eponyms ever written.
• Capsule summaries of the eponymous term help provide meaningful definitions to enable efficient recall and accurate usage
• Concise biographic information for each entry gives a brief but broader context for the term to reinforce comprehension and strengthen your mastery of dermatologic terminology
• Black-and-white photographs of selected individuals put faces to names of the individuals who are given eponymous credit
• A useful 16-page insert of clinical illustrations presents obscure or rare conditions for more comprehensive coverage
• A complete Acronyms & Abbreviations list, the most comprehensive compilation in dermatology to date.

This is a valuable reference for every physician, nurse, and physician-assistant practicing dermatology and dermatopathology. It will also be very useful to medical transcriptionists and medical record personnel who work with dermatology records and scholars of medical history and language.
