Opis

This highly illustrated, diagnostic guidebook provides a single comprehensive source of essential information to enable non-specialists to diagnose lymph node and related diseases with confidence. The text is didactic and practical, covering reactive as well as malignant conditions. Diagnosis of Lymphoproliferative Diseases approaches the disorders based on the WHO classification and is edited by members of the WHO panel for the classification of lymphomas. This second edition contains over 1000 high quality, digitised colour images and tables of essential criteria for each diagnosis. New features include:

• Full discussion of immunostaining, the core of modern diagnosis
• Variant forms and technical issues

This authoritative guide is an essential reference for haematologists, haematopathologists, general pathologists, diagnostic histopathologists and oncologists.

Recenzje

All in all, this is a very useful book for pathologists involved in lymphoproliferative disorder diagnosis. Get it and keep it locked down as it will "walk." Aside from the abundant expert advice, you will very much enjoy the dry humor.   (Doody s, 17 August 2012)
