Book SynopsisA new volume in the highly regarded Biopsy Interpretation Series, Biopsy Interpretation of the Lymph Node provides concise, abundantly illustrated information on the pathologic approach to diagnosis for these frequently encountered biopsies. Practical and well organized, this highly readable volume edited by Drs. Rebecca L. King, Anamarija M. Perry, and Lauren B. Smith, addresses both common and unusual issues that arise in the day-to-day interpretation of non-neoplastic and neoplastic lymph node biopsies, teaching the best diagnostic practices as well as how to avoid the most common pitfalls. Focusing on the daily tasks and needs of the general pathologist, it provides a solid foundation for clinical diagnostic decision making. Frames each diagnosis in its most common clinical context, explaining how the pathology can be used to make key clinical management decisions Features high-quality photomicrographs and illustrations throughout—more than 400 images in all Covers the pattern-based approach to lymph node evaluation, giving special emphasis to differential diagnosis and limitations of small biopsies Addresses diagnostic methods and ancillary studies used in lymph node pathology such as immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, FISH, and molecular studies Provides eBook access to questions and answers for self-assessment and exam review Enrich Your eBook Reading Experience Read directly on your preferred device(s),such as computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Book SynopsisThe rapid acceptance of immunohistochemistry as an important and even indispensable adjunct to morphological examination and diagnosis requires the modern anatomical pathology laboratory to be conversant with, and proficient in, immunostaining procedures, as well as methods of tissue processing and antigen retrieval and the underlying characteristics of the increasing number of antibodies and antisera available. This fully revised, expanded and updated edition provides a comprehensive list of antisera and monoclonal antibodies that have useful diagnostic applications in tissue sections and cell preparations. Various clones, which are commercially available to detect the same antigen, are listed and the sensitivities and specificities of the antibodies are discussed. Importantly, the authors, all pathologists with a wealth of experience in immunostaining procedures, provide fully referenced details and expert advice on each reagent, with the reader will find invaluable. Finally, the appendices provide easily accessible and clear summaries of selected antibody panels for specific diagnostic situations, details of heat-induced antigen/epitope retrieval (including the use of microwaves) and a useful reference to the websites of the main antibody suppliers.

Book SynopsisIn the light of increased awareness of the legal as well as clinical implications of misdiagnosis of pathological specimens, this book provides the trainee and practising histo- and cytopathologist with a comprehensive review of the potential pitfalls encountered in a number of key diagnostic areas (cervical screening, breast cancer screening, pigmented lesions of the skin, lymphoproliferative disease, disease of the gastrointestinal tract and disease of the genito-urinary system). Each chapter has been written by a recognised expert in the organ or organ system concerned and, with the aid of full colour histo- and cytopathological specimens throughout, outlines the most important diagnostic and differential diagnostic features and indicates not only where confident diagnosis can sometimes prove problematic, but also how best to avoid these potential pitfalls in the first instance.Table of Contents1. What is a diagnostic error and how to avoid it; 2. Cervical screening cytology; 3. The pre-operative diagnosis of breast disease; 4. Breast screening pathology; 5. Melanocytic lesions of the skin; 6. Lymphoproliferative disorders; 7. The gastrointestinal tract; 8. Urological pathology.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"It will indeed be useful to all those who 'interpret liver biopsies', whether trainees or specialists. Uniquely for a histopathology textbook, those clinicians who care for patients with liver disease will also find it to be an accessible and user-friendly resource to be consulted as required. I will certainly be recommending this book as a 'must-buy' for our trainee library." -Dr Kathryn Griffin (Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, January 2021) "This practical guide is an excellent resource to practicing pathologists who interpret liver biopsies. The outstanding book organization allows readers to reference a particular section of the book to supplement their biopsy interpretation in real-time. Overall, this book is a great addition to the personal libraries of pathologists who interpret liver biopsies." -Julianne M Szczepanski, MD (University of Michigan Medical School) Doody's Review Score: 97-5 Stars!Table of ContentsGeneral Principles of Biopsy Assessment Laboratory Techniques The Normal Liver Assessment and Differential Diagnosis of Pathological Features Biliary Disease Acute Viral Hepatitis Steatosis, Steatohepatitis and Related Conditions Drugs and Toxins Chronic Hepatitis Cirrhosis Neoplasms and Nodules Vascular Disorders Childhood Liver Disease and Metabolic Disorders Disturbances of Copper and Iron Metabolism The Liver in Systemic Disease and Pregnancy The Liver in Organ Transplantation Electron Microscopy and Other Techniques
