Modern Soft Tissue Pathology. Tumors and Non-Neoplastic Conditions

Description

Fully updated throughout, the second edition of this bestselling book provides a comprehensive guide to the pathology of soft tissue tumors and tumor-like lesions. Reflecting the latestWHO classification throughout, this new edition incorporates advances in clinicopathologic, biologic and genetic studies. As such, detailed coverage of immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics is included for each entity. Soft tissue tumors are broadly defined to include metastatic melanomas, carcinomas, and lymphoid proliferations in soft tissue, enabling thereader to distinguish between easily confused entities. Chapters are richly illustrated throughout with high-quality colour images, depicting both typical histology and variants of each entity.Each printed copy of this new edition is also packaged with a password, providing online access to the book's text and images. Written and edited by renowned international leaders in thefield, this is an essential guide to all diagnostic modalities in soft tissue pathology.
