Essentials of Anatomic Pathology

by Liang Cheng (Editor), David G. Bostwick (Editor)

Overview

For pathology residency training programs and pathologists, Cheng (pathology and urology, Indiana U. School of Medicine) and Bostwick (medical director, Bostwick Laboratories) present a reference on anatomic pathology that covers molecular pathology, human genetics, electron microscopy, microbiology, transplant pathology, and cytopathology. Sections are organized by general pathology and organ system, and the 38 chapters explore neuropathology, lymph nodes, bone marrow, skin, the endocrine system, bones, soft tissue tumors, salivary glands, the mediastinum and thymus, the cardiovascular system, lungs, breasts, reproductive organs, the renal system, kidney, urinary system, prostate, stomach, intestine, pancreas, and liver. In an outline format, the text lists differential diagnosis, clinical information, and microscopic and macroscopic features. Contributors are mainly pathologists from the US. The book uses the 2002 TNM staging systems and classifications, and this edition contains chapters on transplant pathology, the spleen, non-neoplastic skin diseases, the head and neck, eye, and genitalia, as well as approximately 2000 b&w images; a CD-ROM contains color images.

Editorial Reviews

For surgical pathologists in practice or in training, clinicians and researchers set out basic diagnostic criteria and differential diagnoses. The arrangement is intended to facilitate reference during daily practice and to help prepare readers for board or in-service examinations. The first section reviews general pathology from the dimensions of molecular diagnosis, human genetic disorders, microbiology, electron microscopy, forensic pathology, and cytopathology. The other section covers specific organ systems, among them bone marrow, nervous, endocrine, soft tissue, cardiovascular, prostate, small intestine, and liver and biliary. Annotation c.

Essentials of Anatomic Pathology will appeal to pathologists in training, practicing pathologists and a variety of others with an interest in pathology. In addition, medical students on pathology electives, or studying for the boards will also find this book useful … . In summary, this updated and revised 4th edition of Essentials of Anatomic Pathology is an excellent, comprehensive reference book that truly provides all of the essential information you need at your fingertips.” (Carolyn L.
