Essentials of Anatomic Pathology

In this second edition, a distinguished panel of experts concisely interprets recent diagnostic advances in classic pathology to produce a readily accessible guide that helps the practicing pathologist achieve accurate everyday diagnoses. Arranging the important diagnostic features of the most common diseases and tumors by organ systems, this book provides for each disease the pertinent clinical information, its salient diagnostic features, relevant ancillary data (e.g., immunohistochemical profiles), the main differential diagnoses, and the latest tumor staging information, thus ensuring easy access to all the information essential for case sign-out. Authoritative and richly detailed, Essentials of Anatomic Pathology, 2nd Ed., is significantly enhanced as it includes hundreds of color illustration of the different pathologies on a DVD. It also includes a valuable index for rapid access to specific content.
