Resumen de Clinical Atlas of Granulomatous Disorders
Clinical Atlas of Granulomatous Disorders Joseph C. English III, MD * Because dermatologists are classically visual learners and trained with many Kodachrome (now digital image) teaching sessions during residency and at continuing medical education conferences, I thought adding digital images would be ideal. Therefore, to further the reader’s experience with granulomatous disorders that were reviewed in great detail in this issue of Dermatology Clinics , I have added a “Clinical Atlas of Granulomatous Disorder” from cases that I have encountered over my career. I initially intended to include dermatopathology, but being a clinician- educator I wanted to focus on the unique clinical morphologies that these diseases present. How- ever, with that being stated, dermatopathology plays a crucial role in differentiating these entities (ie, the best example is mucin staining to differen- tiate granuloma annulare from all other palisading granulomas). As one can tell, some images are scanned Kodachromes as my career has evolved from Kodak film to .jpg images, so I apologize for some horizontal lines in a few images. I want to thank all the patients that allowed me to image their skin disease and all the past, present, and future residents and colleagues who have and will work tirelessly in managing these patients with me. I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I enjoyed putting this section together for you
