Diseases of the hematopoietic system often manifest themselves in the
skin, and some manifestations are so typical that the dermatologist
may be the first physician to detect the underlying blood disorder.
More commonly, however, skin symptoms arise in the context of a known
hematopoietic disease. This book reviews skin signs and symptoms that
develop secondarily to underlying malignant or benign diseases of the
hematopoietic system, and mainly built as a clinical text to support
the physician in making a correct diagnosis and understanding the
significance of skin signs for the prognosis and management of the
hematological disease. The malignant hematological diseases comprise
approximately 80% of the book, which reflects the spectrum of patients
in hematology departments, as well as the experience of the authors.
In addition to its pragmatic structure that enables the reader to find
relevant information, tables are included for differential diagnoses
and cross-referencing the skin sign with hematological diagnoses and
vice versa. For each chapter, ample background information is provided
to convey dermatologists the essence of hematological disorders.
Likewise, to enhance understanding among hematologists, dermatological
jargon is avoided and skin signs described in understandable terms,
underscoring the patterns of the lesions and key features allowing the
non-dermatologist clinician to differentiate one skin condition from
another. This book is primarily for the physicians who see adult
patients; to achieve consistency and readability, the work is meant as
a monograph written by specialists in the field, who collaborate with
one another on a daily basis. While not aiming to be an exhaustive
reference work, it is built as an intelligible handbook that for the
first time covers the cross-section of dermatology and hematology. The
audience comprises dermatologists working in an academic or hospital
setting, as well as hematologists and internists who manage patients
with blood diseases in their daily clinical practice.
