Skin Lymphoma: The Illustrated Guide has been designed to alleviate some of these difficulties, providing all those working in the dermatological field with a complete and easily consulted text on this potentially fatal cancer.

The book's considerable scope has been broadened into new and groundbreaking areas, the details of which are explored in chapters discussing primary cutaneous acral CD8+ T-cell lymphoma, composite lymphomas, and non-neoplastic cutaneous signs of systemic lymphomas, as well as in new sections on previously unexamined entities such as implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
