Full Description
Atlas of Lung Pathology offers a comprehensive survey of common and uncommon conditions likely to be encountered in a wide range of practices. It begins with a review of normal macroscopic and microscopic lung anatomy followed by practical tips on how to handle the most common specimens received in pathology practice. Non-neoplastic conditions are segregated into logical categories intended to make them easily accessible to quickly offer solutions for diagnostic problems encountered in daily practice. Each illustration was carefully chosen using images drawn from experienced contributors familiar with the challenges of diagnostic pulmonary pathology.
