Provides surgical pathologists with expert reference material. The lesions described relate principally to medical non-neoplastic conditions as exemplified by the first three Fascicles on endocrine, pulmonary, and skin diseases. Many of these lesions represent complex entities and when appropriate the authors have included contributions from internists, radiologists, and surgeons.

Divided into fourteen chapters and an appendix and with 490 illustrations, this volume includes the structure and function of the normal placenta before reviewing the major disorders and lesions which occur as complications of a normal pregnancy and delivery. It provides an expert comprehensive review of diseases of the placenta.

Substantially updated to reflect the changes in the field since the previous edition, the number of illustrations, all of which are in colourr, has almost doubled. Both the text and the photomicrographs emphasise the importance of immunohistochemistry and molecular in situ hybridisation as adjuncts to morphology in routine clinical diagnosis.

This volume has adopted the WHO system of classification and, for pathologists who are not as familiar with the WHO system, the authors clearly explain and illustrate both the morphologic and histogenetic classification systems that are its bases. Newly-recognised tumour entities, new cytologic and genetic findings, and recent references have been added. Highly illustrated, mainly in colour.

Of the various subspecialty areas in anatomic pathology, neuropathology tends to be one of the least familiar to general pathologists. This volume is biased toward diseases that may be encountered in surgical pathology practice. Moreover, the authors have tried to illustrate as many entities as possible with surgical material.

Aims to present various molecular findings which provide an understanding of tumour pathogenesis. Presenting an important diagnostic feature of major lesions, this book includes not only the gross, histopathologic and cytologic findings but also the clinical and radiographic features in the differential diagnosis of bone tumours and their mimics.

The lesions described relate principally to medical non-neoplastic conditions. Many of these lesions represent complex entities and when appropriate we have included contributions from internists radiologists and surgeons.

Since the previous edition was published, many new entities have been described, prognostic significance of certain tumour subtypes established, grading systems revised, and molecular features correlated with tumour types and grades. The authors have integrated all of these new findings into an entirely new and completely up-to-date volume that demystifies the complex subject of CNS tumours.

Provides an assessment of non-neoplastic disease in bone marrow in paediatric and adult patients, though neoplastic processes are briefly highlighted in discussions of differential diagnostic considerations. Lineage-based non-neoplastic erythroid, myeloid, megakaryocytic, and lymphoid disorders are discussed as well as bone marrow findings in patients with systemic, nonhematologic disorders.

Focuses on the cytopathologic and histopathologic features of diffuse malignant mesothelioma, its many variants, and the other benign and malignant lesions to be distinguished from it. Highly illustrated, mainly in colour.

While many areas of intestinal tumour pathology are without controversy, the classification and nomenclature for appendiceal tumours remain a subject of debate. This volume offers information on the various divergent viewpoints where they exist for this topic and others.

The understanding of diagnostic lymph node and spleen pathology has evolved at an impressive pace since 1995, when the third series AFIP atlas was published. This atlas will provide readers with the comprehensive information necessary for the pathological and clinical assessment of lymph node and splenic lesions.

Offers a broad overview of the spectrum of diseases involving the sinonasal tract, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, neck, salivary glands, and ear and temporal bone. The book focuses primarily on the more common non-neoplastic head and neck diseases that the surgical pathologist will confront in their daily practice.

Provides an histological reference for surgical pathologists not familiar or comfortable with the diagnosis of non-tumorous diseases of bones and joints. The emphasis is on surgical pathology of bone and joint diseases. The comprehensive photographs, illustrations, and tables enhance clinicopathologic correlation and diagnostic application in a way seldom provided by previous pathology resources.

Presents a comprehensive account of benign and malignant melanocytic lesions. It has become ever more apparent, especially with the recent advent of molecular classification, that melanoma is not one disease, and that prognosis in melanoma can vary considerably from lesions that present minimal risk, to dangerous malignancies at opposite ends of a spectrum. Highly illustrated, mainly in colour.
