Fitzpatrick's Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology, 9th Edition (Paperback)

Fitzpatrick's Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology, 9th Edition, is the paperback McGraw Hill quick-reference atlas that pairs more than 1,000 color photographs of skin lesions with concise notes on epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment.

This is the dermatology book non-dermatologists actually open. Each disease gets a short synopsis beside clinical images, so a clinician can match what is in front of them to a diagnosis in a minute or two. The color-coded four-part organization makes review fast, and ICD-10 codes are listed for each condition. The ninth edition includes many images showing skin disease in patients with darker skin tones, which earlier atlases underrepresented.

Why this edition

The ninth edition was extensively revised, with updated etiology, pathogenesis, management and therapy for each entry and new material throughout. The image set was expanded and diversified. The book stays compact enough to carry, which is the trade-off that distinguishes it from the full Fitzpatrick's Dermatology two-volume reference.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as Fitzpatrick's Dermatology in General Medicine?

No. This is the compact Color Atlas and Synopsis. The multi-volume Fitzpatrick's Dermatology is the comprehensive reference text.

Is this a good dermatology book for primary care?

Yes. Its image-first layout and brief synopses are designed for clinicians who need to recognize and initially manage skin conditions rather than specialize in them.

Does the 9th edition include ICD-10 codes?

Yes. An ICD-10 code is given for each disease covered.
