Essentials of Surgical Pediatric Pathology

DESCRIPTION

Essentials of Surgical Pediatric Pathology is a clear and practical yet comprehensive guide for trainee pediatric pathologists and non-pediatric pathologists. Each chapter corresponds to one of the main subspecialties, such as dermatopathology, head and neck pathology, and system pathology. Practical guidance is given on handling pediatric specimens and the authors highlight the ways in which common conditions present differently in adults and children. Other chapters cover conditions typical of childhood, including soft tissue tumors and blue round cell tumors. The chapters begin with a brief clinical presentation, followed by a clear macroscopical and histological description of the principal pathologies seen in children. Up-to-date genetic and immunohistochemical information is provided, and the book includes hundreds of high-quality color images. Written and edited by leading international experts in the field, this is an essential resource for trainee pediatric pathologists, as well as general pathologists who may encounter pediatric cases.

• Offers clear descriptions of the most common pediatric diseases and conditions, making this an ideal resource for first-line consultation
• Chapters are written and edited by leading experts in their fields, providing up-to-date authoritative guidance with pertinent references
• Illustrated throughout with colour photos, helping the reader to achieve the correct diagnosis
