Recenzje

From the reviews: "This is a further book of well known Current Clinical Pathology series ... . This unique monograph and well designed monograph with hundreds of color figures shows not only carefully selected microscopical images which appear very helpful in establishing pathological diagnosis of individual endocrine tumors, but also macrospical views of some typical tumors removed by surgical intervention. This book contains 18 chapters written by 26 authors and co-authors from two continents." (Endocrine Regulations, June, 2010)
