Riassunto

Practical Hepatic Pathology-a new volume in the new Pattern Recognition series-offers you a practical guide to diagnosing every challenging liver biopsy that you encounter in your daily practice. Dr. Romil Saxena presents diagnoses according to a pattern-based organization that guides you from a histological pattern of injury, through the appropriate work-up, around the pitfalls, and to the best diagnosis. Lavish, full-color images capture key hepatic pathology patterns of injury, pathognomonic features and common variations of all major liver diseases and hepatic neoplasms, while a "visual index" at the beginning of the book directs you to the exact location of in-depth diagnostic guidance. No other single source delivers the practical, hands-on information you need to solve even the toughest diagnostic challenges in liver biopsies.

Recensione:

"This 728-page overview of liver pathology is an outstanding, state-of-the-art book on hepatic pathology. The book has organized a wealth of information in a simplified manner. It is a well-written, comprehensive textbook, providing up-to-date information on liver pathology with a realistic approach to diagnosis of common as well as tricky and challenging cases. Accompanying high-quality photomicrographs, illustrations, tables, and boxes complement the text throughout and provide an excellent visual guide. As the book truly emphasizes, "No other single source delivers the practical, hands on information you need to solve even the toughest diagnostic challenges in liver biopsies." It is recommended for pathologists in training, gastrointestinal and liver pathology fellows, practicing pathologists, both in academic practice and in community practice, and other clinicians who are interested in liver diseases." ~Dipti Mahajan, MD, Cleveland Clinic Foundation
