This book is designed not as a comprehensive textbook but instead as a short practical guide
to diagnosis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of blood bone marrow and lymphoid
tissues. Concise and easy to read this text provides essential information in a bulleted text
format. This simple format was chosen to provide essential information that may quickly be
reviewed at the microscope. Each single-page entry begins with a brief one-line Snapshot
description followed by short descriptions of important clinical morphologic
immunohistochemical and genetic features and ending with Caveats and Pearls and Differential
Diagnosis. In most cases entries are accompanied by a few high-quality histologic images. To
keep the text concise recommended texts and recent review articles are cited in the
bibliography at the end of the book. To help quickly find alternative diagnoses the index
cross-references all differential diagnoses. The Pocket Guide to Diagnostic Hematopathology
should be of use to practicing hematopathologists (academic and private) and hematologic
oncologists as well as trainees (fellows) in hematopathology and hematologic oncology.
