Neoplastic mimics in dermatopathology

Neoplastic mimics in dermatopathology / Mark R. Wick, M.D., James W. Patterson, M.D.

Virtually all sites in the human body can host lesions that simulate neoplasms, and many of these ""pseudotumors"" can simulate neoplasms on all levels of analysis-- clinical, radiologic, and pathologic-- thus they represent particular diagnostic pitfalls for the pathologist that...
