Lymph Nodes

Description

Lymph Nodes presents the full gamut of key lymph nodes disorder entities and diagnoses that a pathologist can expect to encounter in daily practice. Coverage includes infectious lymphadenopathies, reactive lympadenopathies, lymph node inclusions, spindle cell neoplasms of lymph nodes, mature B-cell neoplasms, mature T- and NK-cell neoplasms, Hodgkin lymphoma, precursor lymphoid neoplasms, and more. Lymph Nodes is highly illustrated throughout and provides a handy summary and quick reference guide for pathology residents and less experienced pathologists. In addition, it serves as a portable "refresher course" or MOC review tool for more experienced pathologists.

Lymph Nodes Features:

• Presents the key entities and diagnoses that pathologists will see in practice
• Emphasis is on basic morphology with newer techniques represented where they are frequently used
• Includes "expert tips" from experienced diagnosticians
