"Nearly all significant disease processes that could conceivably appear under the microscope--from abetalipoproteinemia to zygomycosis--are covered." (JAMA) Thoroughly revised and updated, the state-of-the-art New Edition of this respected reference encompasses the entire field of surgical pathology in a single source. Its uncommonly practice-oriented format integrates surgical pathology with cytopathology to present all the relevant features of a particular lesion or disease side by side. 3,200 clinical images-more than 3,000 in full color-depict basic morphology, immunofluorescence, gross specimens, and special cytochemical and histochemical stains.

Emphasizes a practical approach to differential diagnosis.

Focuses on the information readers need when discussing specific lesions in specific patients with other clinicians.

Features the expertise of leading surgical, cytological, and molecular pathologists to guarantee that all pertinent material is considered in each chapter.

Makes reference easy with an organization based on SNOMED coding.

Offers valuable chapters on infectious disease · immunologically-mediated disease and transplantation · iatrogenic lesions · differential diagnosis of metastatic tumors · and many other key topics.

Provides comprehensive cytologic correlations for each organ, where relevant, to mirror the practice of pathology today.

Incorporates the knowledge and expertise of two respected new co-editors-Virginia LiVolsi and Mark Wick.
