Description
Oral Disease:: Case Studies of Difficult Diagnoses provides unique insights into the variety of approaches that may play a role in arriving at the correct diagnosis of conditions involving the oral and maxillofacial region. The book features 116 detailed vignettes and 350 images, representing patients referred by a variety of specialists to Dr. Carl Allen over his 40-year career in oral and maxillofacial pathology. Each vignette offers valuable information about the diagnostic process and challenges of diseases of the oral soft tissues and bone. Topics include trauma-related conditions, developmental conditions and syndromes, viral and fungal infections, immune-mediated disorders, oral precancerous lesions, lymphoreticular and surface epithelial malignancies, salivary gland malignancies, and more.

It is often said that we learn best from the mistakes that we make. This text gives medical and dental clinicians the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others (including those of Dr. Allen!).
