Fitzpatrick's Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology

The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology has been used by thousands of primary
care physicians, dermatology residents, dermatologists, internists, and other health care providers
principally because it facilitates dermatologic diagnosis by providing color photographs
of skin lesions and, juxtaposed, a succinct summary outline of skin disorders as well as the skin
signs of systemic diseases. It can be used as a clinical companion, as a way to look up specific
information or as a way to test oneself in the important features of the clinical examination. We
invite you to open our atlas to random pages, cover up the figure legend, and to try and describe
the findings you see while making a diagnosis. No clinical resource, however, could replace
the teachings of the skin of our patients. Even amidst the wild changes that have occurred
in therapy, the subtleties and intricacies of the skin examination, continue to fascinate us with
new lessons each day.
The ninth edition has been extensively revised and expanded by new material. There is a complete
update of etiology, pathogenesis, management, and therapy. There is also an online version.
