This book provides a guide to the diagnosis and management of melanocyte disorders. Clinical cases are presented to illustrate the treatment of both common and unusual conditions, as well as best practice techniques. Patient management options are discussed in relation to melanocyte senescence, hypermelanotic disorders, hypomelanotic disorders, reticulate pigmentation, benign melanocytic nevi, and malignant melanocytic proliferation. Clinical Cases in Disorders of Melanocytes aims to aid clinical decision making and the recognition of subtle symptoms and is relevant to trainees and clinicians working within dermatology.

Vitiligo has been, until recently, a rather neglected area in dermatology and medicine. Patients complain about this situation, which has offered avenues to quacks, and has led to the near orphan status of the disease. The apparently, simple and poorly symptomatic presentation of the disease has been a strong disadvantage to its study, as compared to other common chronic skin disorders such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Vitiligo is still considered by doctors as a non disease, a simple aesthetic problem. A good skin-based angle of attack is also lacking because generalized vi- ligo is clearly epitomizing the view of skin diseases as simple targets of a systemic unknown dysregulation (diathesis), re? ecting the Hippocratic doctrine. This view has mostly restricted vitiligo to the manifestation of an auto-immune diathesis in the past 30 years. Thus, skin events, which are easily detected using skin biospies in most other situations, have not been precisely recorded, with the argument that a clinical diagnosis was suf? cient for the management (or most commonly absence of mana- ment) of the patient. This book is an international effort to summarize the information gathered about this disorder at the clinical, pathophysiological and therapeutic levels. Its primary aim is to bridge current knowledge at the clinical and investigative level, to point to the many unsolved issues, and to delineate future priorities for research.

Over the last two decades, various surgical therapies have been used in the treatment of stable refractory vitiligo, none of which are very popular due to their intrinsic drawbacks. The cellular graft technique are costly and required a good laboratory and infrastructure and the ultimate results are no better than tissue grafting technique except that these can cover a wide vitiliginous area. Thus no procedure can claim to be the gold standard and, consequently, there is always a need for the technique that gives best results without complications. Microskin Grafting For Vitiligo describes the technique of using small skin particles prepared from ultra thin or thin split thickness skin grafts in the effective treatment of vitiligo. The technique benefits from a good expansion ratio, e.g. small donor skin to treat a large vitiliginous area. The book’s emphasis is on illustrating the concepts using numerous images and minimal text and thus enables a highly practical evaluation of the procedure. The book highlights that the technique is simple to learn and execute, cost effective, and can treat large areas in one operative session. Therefore, the book will be of interest to not only postgraduate students but also the clinical dermatologist, general practitioner and surgeon.

This book provides a guide to the diagnosis and management of pigmentary disorders. Each chapter explores a different clinical case to give the reader an interdisciplinary understanding of treatment options. Particular attention is given to the treatment of hypopigmentation, hypomelanosis and discoloration with cases highlighting the effects of drug intake, genetic alterations and the polluted environment. Clinical Cases in Pigmentary Disorders examines therapeutic approaches through evidence-based best practice techniques and is relevant to dermatologists, oncologists, pharmacologists and pathologists.
