Caterina Longo, MD, PhDAssociate Professor, Dermatology and Venereology, at Universita degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia (UNIMO); Azienda Unita Sanitaria Locale - IRCCS di Reggio Emilia, Centro Oncologico ad Alta Tecnologia Diagnostica, Modena, Italy; President of AIDNID; Executive Board Member of the International Dermoscopy SocietyMany texts deal with how to diagnose the straightforward melanomas of the skin, but there are many less common skin tumors that a clinician needs to be aware of because these are still likely to be encountered at some point in a clinical setting and many of them have serious implications.
