This is a comprehensive reference book on all aspects of the structure and function of the nail apparatus in health and disease. As a subspecialty of dermatology, nail abnormalities are often neglected in dermatological training, and therefore, there is a real need for a 'bench' reference book in this area. This book covers all aspects of nail disease, but the detailed chapters on nail surgery and nail tumors are unique in their comprehensiveness. This new edition is larger, more detailed and now has over 1000 color photographs and diagrams.
