Atlas of Dermatological Manifestations of Gastrointestinal Disease

The Atlas of Dermatological Manifestations of Gastrointestinal Disease provides a comprehensive compendium of digestive tract diseases with dermatological manifestations. This work is unique in its side-by-side presentation of gastroenterological diseases with their dermatological manifestations. Authored by nationally and internationally recognized pathologists, the atlas features substantial clinical, endoscopic, radiological and histological images. Concise and easy to use, Atlas of Dermatological Manifestations of Gastrointestinal Disease is an important resource for gastroenterologists, dermatologists, and internists alike in the treatment of digestive tract diseases.

Content and Methodology

The work is arranged by digestive symptoms, with sections based on the specific digestive disease etiology. Each section contains paired chapters of text, one on gastrointestinal manifestations and the other on dermatological manifestations. The atlas includes clinical presentations, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, diagnostic tests/procedures, pathology, and references presented with substantial numbers of images. This book is aimed at broadening dermatologists’ and gastroenterologists’ awareness of skin clues to particular gastrointestinal disorders. It provides a good introduction to educating oneself on taking a thorough GI history for patients with suspicious skin changes to examine them for underlying GI malignancies and syndromes.
