Report
From the reviews of the second edition:
"The purpose is to cover the majority of conjunctival and eyelid tumors that clinical ophthalmologists encounter in their patients. In addition to ophthalmology residents, fellows, and attendings, the book would be useful to dermatology residents and attendings. ... This outstanding book is exhaustive in the pathology it covers. It uses photographs, pathology slides, and well-organized discussions to educate readers." (Christopher B. Chambers, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2014)
