Biopsy Interpretation of the Breast


Book Description

A practical guide for the diagnostic surgical pathologist, this new edition of Biopsy Interpretation of the Breast presents the diverse spectrum of pathologic alterations that occur in the breast in a manner analogous to that in which they are encountered in daily practice.

The role of adjunctive studies in solving diagnostic problems in breast pathology is emphasized where appropriate. In addition, the clinical significance and impact on patient management of the various diagnoses are discussed and key clinical and management points highlighted.

Biopsy Interpret Pediatric Lesions 2


Book Description

"Many complex pediatric cases are treated in specialized children's hospitals; however, more and more children are first diagnosed at general facilities. Thus, most practicing pathologists deal with pediatric specimens, but not on a daily basis. Although there are some similarities between adult and pediatric biopsies, there are also significant differences. Many adult diseases do not or only very rarely occur in children, while the common pediatric lesions are uncommon in the adult. The spectrum of infectious organisms, types of tumors, and autoimmune, renal, pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, and neurologic diseases are distinct, which changes the diagnostic approach. The small size of the patient influences the type of biopsy that is possible; thus, triaging the tissue and use of judicious ancillary testing are critical"--
