Colour Atlas of Gastrointestinal Pathology

This colour atlas provides illustrations, both gross and microscopic, of the principal diseases of the gastrointestinal system. The 591 photographs and microphotographs cover the oesophagus, stomach, duodenum and small intestine, appendix, large intestine and anal region. Each section has a covering text and detailed captions to the illustrations. The atlas provides a visual handbook for trainees in pathology, as well as a work of reference for senior pathologists, and for endoscopists, surgeons and gastroenterologists who wish to learn about the very varied morphological appearances found in the gastrointestinal tract. A knowledge of gastrointestinal pathology is an essential prerequisite for all who practise gastroenterology. This book is intended to help gastrointestinal surgeons and physicians to better understand the contribution of the histopathologist to the management, as well as to the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders.
