This second edition of the popular Classics in Clinical Dermatology with Biographical Sketches, first published in 1953, has been expanded considerably. Compiled and edited by two of the most acknowledged figures in dermatology over the past half-century, this new edition contains the complete contents of the first edition–95 authors, from 21 countries, and the world literature of the preceding 150 years –plus about 30 new classic papers that have appeared in the past 50 years. The diseases depicted vary from daily clinical fare to the rarest of the rare. Some are case reports, while others are the fruit of countless hours in the meticulous study of many patients.
