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.
