The Difficult Diagnosis in Surgical Pathology

This new "scope-side consultant" begins where other pathology references end. It guides readers through the lesions that present special diagnostic challenges because of their presentations, resemblance to other lesions, or infrequent occurrence. Clear, diagnostic criteria, crisp photographs, important references, and key advice on using ancillary diagnostic techniques to help readers reach an accurate assessment - fast. Complements readers' favourite pathology references by detailing the atypical presentations of common lesions, common lesions that share features with other lesions, and rare lesions that may be unfamiliar to the reader. The emphasis on histopathologic diagnostic features fosters swift and reliable evaluations. Experts author each chapter, ensuring currency, coherence, and accuracy. Every organ system is represented providing an all-in-one resource for the busy clinician. More than 1000 illustrations clarify essential points. Readers can compare their patients' studies against those in the book to confirm or re-evaluate a diagnosis.
