Neoplastic Hematopathology. an Atlas and Concise Guide

Description

Neoplastic Hematopathology provides a concise, visual approach to guide practicing pathologists, hematopathologists, hematologists, oncologists, internists, and trainees to a clear analysis and diagnosis of myeloid and lymphoid specimens. Coverage is comprehensive and for each entity includes a short text description of the key points of the entity-definition; morphologic features; special stains, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry techniques; differential diagnosis; diagnostic features; special issues (e.g., prognostic or other considerations to note). Images in Neoplastic Hematopathology highlight differential diagnostic features, especially the correlation and integration of standard H & E stains with molecular and immunologic techniques.
Neoplastic Hematopathology: An Atlas and Concise Guide Features:

• Clear, concise coverage across the wide range of hematopathologic entities based on the current World Health Organization (WHO) classification
• Topics selected on the basis of "must-know" entities for the practicing pathologist or trainee
• An emphasis on integration of routine and special stains with immunologic and molecular techniques, reflecting the most current standards of practice
• Outstanding images selected to highlight key differential points and potentially misleading variants
