Book SynopsisTrade Review"What makes the editors' approach so very unique is the inclusion of extensive high resolution narrated video to illustrate in detail the techniques described in the body of the text. This is a three-dimensional process, nearly duplicating the experience of standing shoulder to shoulder with a personal master instructor. The student is able to read the principles and applications and then see in real time the execution of the techniques.

This topic has only recently been consistently addressed as an issue on its own, apart from the rest of the lymphomas, and this text is the first to apply modern systems of classification, diagnosis and management. This text is essential reading for hematologic oncologists and hematopathologists.Table of ContentsPart 1: Conceptual basis 1 Challenging issues in the management of extranodal lymphomas 2 Historical prospects for the concept of primary extranodal lymphoma 3 Epidemiology of primary extranodal lymphoma 4 Infectious etiopathogenesis of primary extranodal lymphoma 5 Lymphocyte homing and immunology of extranodal lympoid tissue 6 Specific management problems posed by the primary extranodal presentations. Part I – staging and response evaluation 7 Specific management problems posed by the primary extranodal presentations. Part I – local control of localized disease Part 2: Pathobiology and clinicopathological correlations 8 Pathobiology and molecular basis of MALT lymphoma 9 Principles of the WHO classification with special reference to aggressive extranodal lymphomas 10 MALT lymphoma pathology, initial diagnosis, and post-treatment evaluation Part 3: Main Entities/Locations 11 Primary central nervous system lymphoma 12 Primary testicular lymphoma 13 Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma 14 Nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma 15 Primary breast lymphoma 16 Bone lymphoma 17 Lung lymphoma 18 Primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphomas 19 MALT-type lymphoma of the orbit and ocular adnexae 20 Primary marginal zone lymphomas and other non-MALT marginal zone lymphomas 21 Gastrointestinal tract lymphomas 22 Cutaneous lymphomas 23 Primary extranodal head and neck lymphomas 24 Lymphoma of the liver 25 Extranodal lymphomas in patients with HIV infection 26 Primary effusion lymphoma 27 Rare sites 28 Extranodal Hodgkin’s lymphoma

Book SynopsisWritten by a leading dermatologist, The Blue Man and Other Stories of the Skin provides a compelling and accessible introduction to the life of our largest organ, while also recounting the author's experiences with memorable patients he has treated who suffer from mysterious skin conditions. Robert Norman begins by highlighting the qualities of the skin, tracing the history of its conditions and diseases, then examining the cultural, social and psychological impact of both color and irregularity. The book also features an absorbing collection of stories about some of his most intriguing patients: from a man whose skin mysteriously turned blue, to a hypochondriacal woman who begins to show signs of a life-threatening disease. This is a fascinating account of the dynamic nature of the skin, and the people who inhabit it.Trade Review"The Blue Man and Other Stories of the Skin explains not only basic and interesting facts on skin, but also contains vignettes of unusual patient cases." * Jerusalem Post *Table of ContentsPreface Part I.
