Understanding Nevi, Nevoid Skin
Disorders, and Cutaneous Neoplasia

During my training in dermatology in the years 1968 through 1972, I had seen some linear skin lesions but never heard or read of Alfred Blaschko since, among dermatologists, his lines had fallen into oblivion. Shortly thereafter, when I worked at the University of Münster, the geneticist Rudolf Pfeiffer told me of Blaschko’s atlas and how to find this book.
