This guide to the diagnosis of breast disease contains over 500 colour illustrations of histopathology, in addition to other material, such as X-rays, clinical photographs, and low power pathological photographs. The volume is divided into chapters dealing with normal appearances and a variety of breast lesions. The concise but descriptive text considers cancer staging and prognosis, and also the value of immuno-histochemistry. The book is a useful reference for pathologists and clinicians involved in the interpretation of breast biopsies.
