TLDR The atlas is a useful, affordable guide for skin disease pathology, despite lacking color images.
The atlas "An Atlas of Histopathology of Skin Diseases" by Drs. Shum and Guenther provided a pictorial account of dermatopathology, organized by histologic abnormalities. It included black-and-white photomicrographs, which were of excellent quality but lacked color, potentially limiting their utility for some users. The book was designed for residents and practicing pathologists and dermatologists, offering a practical guide with real-case slides, including processing artifacts. While it did not provide in-depth analyses, it was a cost-effective alternative to color atlases and a valuable addition to dermatopathology literature.
