Product Description This book provides quick and convenient access to both textual and visual information on all common and many less common tumors, both benign and malignant. Relevant premalignant conditions are also illustrated, and particular attention is paid to neoplastic conditions which are oftenmisinterpreted by less experienced practitioners. Contents are arranged in an alphabetical sequence of organs, with types of tumor organized by order of malignancy. Detailed information about the structure of tumors is provided by high-quality color illustrations, and large-scale photomicrographsare used to obtain the optimum reproduction of structural detail. A full and detailed index facilitates cross referencing of similar tumors in different organs. This authoritative book will serve as an excellent reference for pathologists and oncologists. Review "Dispays a panorama of 2363 color photographs of human tumors, virtually all sharp, informative, in perfect color balance, and carefully selected and arrowed to illustrate diagnostic points to maximum advantage." ―British Medical Review"This book is a pathologist's delight. It is indeed a feat of the highest accomplishment to be able to produce over 2000 illustrations in color and with none that are out of focus, indistinct, or unclear . . . .It is very easy to navigate this work. . . .I will encourage residents to use this useful and well-illustrated encyclopedia." ―JAMA"If one is looking for a comprehensive pictorial atlas of human pathology, this book is one of the best choices, if not the best. Even experienced pathologists will find this volume of interest in that it pictures many rare entities which they might not have encountered previously. . . . it would be an excellent reference for a departmental or institutional library." ―Journal of the National Cancer Institute"The authors have indeed achieved the presentation of all relevant tumors in all organs, in a collection of representative and informative histologic pictures. Moreover, the quality of the illustrations, in contrast to the ones of earlier monographs of the same group, is truly optimal. Each illustration is accompanied by an informative text not only describing the pictures, but also relating the important facts about the respective disease. A great improvement is seen in the addition of several representative macrosocial, and especially of extensive cytologic pictures that are indispensable for modern diagnostics. Since no illustrated textbook of similar concentration is at hand, the book will not fail to attract many readers. Authors and publishers have met a truly urgent demand." ―Path. Res. Pract.
