Atlas of Spleen Pathology (Atlas of Anatomic Pathology)

ABOUT THIS BOOK

• Authored by nationally and internationally recognized pathologists
• Features visual diagnostic criteria with detailed figure legends
• A quick reference guide for the diagnosis of usual and unusual diseases

The spleen is an organ which has diverse functions including immunologic and hematologic. The Atlas of Spleen Pathology describes and selectively illustrates the normal and pathologic conditions that afflict the spleen. This extraordinary collection of high quality digital images will materially aid in continuing efforts to recognize, understand, and accurately interpret the gross and light microscopic findings in spleens.
