title: An assist to the next (10th) edition of Lever's Histopathology of the Skin.
abstract: Lever's Histopathology of the Skin, regarded as the gold standard textbook in the field of dermatopathology, claims to cut a swath through the discipline. In the last two editions, however, it appears to be declining in its overall scientific quality and academic mentality by failing to include different points of view set forth by other authors. Some ideas of a single author, coupled with appropriate references, are offered by me now for consideration for inclusion in the next (10th) edition of Lever's text.
