QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK FOR SURGICAL PATHOLOGI...

This book contains a compilation of high-yield  at-a-glance summaries in quick reference format
for various topics that are frequently encountered by pathologists in the daily practice or on
the boards. The focus is not organ-based histologic criteria  but rather everything else that
goes into pathologic diagnoses but is difficult to keep committed to memory. The emphasis is on
immunohistochemistry  special stains  grading systems  molecular markers  tumor syndromes  and
helpful clinical references. Also included are morphologic summaries that encompass high-yield
material cutting across all organ systems  such as an illustrated guide for microorganisms 
tumor differentials  and an illustrated glossary of pathologic descriptors. The book has a
unique format in that the information is presented primarily in tables and diagrams accompanied
by brief and to-the-point explanatory text. The guiding principle was to boil the information
down to the essentials but with just enough commentary to be accessible to a newcomer to
pathology and to serve as a quick reference to a practicing pathologist.   In the 7 years since
its initial publication  there have been considerable advances in surgical pathology 
particularly immunohistochemical stains  molecular diagnostics  and histologic grading schemes.
In the second edition  the content has been thoroughly updated to incorporate these
developments  while retaining the overall scope and concise format of the first edition. In
addition  the reader will find summaries for many new topics as well as multiple new cartoon
illustrations and diagrams.
