Radiology Pathology Correlations of Breast Lesions

This book brings together the expertise of nationally renowned radiologists and pathologists in resolving difficult breast lesions detected on imaging. While there are several separate resources available for radiology residents to study imaging modalities, there are few if any books that illustrate simultaneous radiology pathology correlates. This text will be a useful reference for residents, fellows, and practicing attendings in both disciplines. As the two disciplines of radiology and pathology are interrelated, the scope of the book is to provide and inform readers of not only typical examples of breast lesions that correlate with imaging findings that may or may not require surgical excision but also to resolve problematic lesions that are discordant with imaging findings. This book contains 14 chapters containing hundreds of images supplemented with key references. These chapters include outlines with systematic approaches to each disease entity punctuated by various imaging techniques, key diagnostic points seen on imaging, and pathology followed by differential diagnostic considerations. Finally, a summary of concordant and discordant findings is provided at the end of each section. Written by experts in the fields of radiology and pathology, as well as surgical colleagues that manage patients with breast diseases, Radiology Pathology Correlations of Breast Lesions serves as an easy-to-use reference for radiology and pathology residents and fellows, as well as practicing pathologists and radiologists. This book integrates the radiologic and pathologic appearance of relatively common breast lesions side-by-side with easy-to-understand descriptions and illustrations.
