Description
Book SynopsisDesigned to bridge the gap between normal histology and pathological alterations,
Mills’s Histology for Pathologists, 6th Edition, offers a unique pathologic perspective on normal histology, highlighted by almost 2,000 high-quality illustrations. Written
by anatomic pathologists
for anatomic pathologists, and newly edited by Dr. Rhonda K. Yantiss, this award-winning, comprehensive classic has been updated with new information on surgical principles and techniques. Ideal for all anatomic pathologists as well as those in training, this updated volume continues to adhere to Dr. Stephen S. Sternberg’s original purpose as articulated by Dr. Stacey E. Mills: “While normal does not change, our perception of normal continues to expand and improve. We also continue to recognize new variations of normal that cause diagnostic confusion and touch on the interface between normal and disease.”
- Focuses on variations of the norm related to such variables as age, sex, and race often not clarified in conventional textbooks
- Emphasizes normal histology and normal features that may be confused with pathologic conditions, and briefly discusses prepathologic conditions and pathologic processes confused with normal
- Features almost 2,000 new and updated gross and microscopic images, including immunohistochemical stains and special stains
- Reflects recent advances in immunohistochemical and molecular techniques that provide insights into pathologic processes, as well as increased awareness of the spectrum of normal findings
- Shares the knowledge and fresh perspectives from many new authors, as well as new editor Dr. Rhonda K. Yantiss, whom Dr. Stacey E. Mills chose to continue the tradition of excellence established in previous editions of this text
