Histological diagnosis is a largely visual process dependent on accurate analysis of tissue architecture. Becoming an 'expert' histopathologist requires building up a huge knowledge of meaningful 'patterns', acquired by examining thousands of specimens. By analysing these patterns and presenting them logically, the authors Al-Nafussi and Hughes aim to give trainee pathologists quicker and more thorough access to this expert knowledge.
'Histological Diagnosis of Tumours by Pattern Analysis' is a bench book that provides a carefully structured guide through the maze of differing cell structures which make up various tumour types. It is divided into three sections; section 1 defines patterns or sub-patterns, and lists the entities belonging to each part; section 2 provides an A-Z list of tumour and tumour-like conditions; and section 3 serves as a system index with lists of entities belonging to each pattern or sub-pattern. A vast number of important entities are illustrated and with over 1000 colour photographs this book will prove essential reading for all pathologists in training.
