Full Description
The book offers a comprehensive update on bone tumors and tumor like conditions including clinical, pathological and radiological features. It provides a comprehensive coverage of the topic including molecular biology and provides the readers a solid foundation of knowledge for tumor recognition and evaluation. The book includes chapters on synovial and odontogenic tumors as well.
Chapters are uniformly designed and provide systematic approach to various tumors and tumor-like lesions of bone. They are divided according to the predominant cell of origin or the predominant matrix produced, such as osteoid producing lesions, chondroid tumors or giant cell rich tumors, thus assisting the reader, as to how to approach such lesions. Chapters include ample radiology and microscopy images and tables for quick reference.
The book is an ideal resource and offers assistance to practicing pathologists, radiologists, clinical oncologists, orthopedicians as well as residents and interns in pathology, radiology, oncology and orthopedics in understanding the approach to bone tumors in a systematic way. The book emphasizes on the need for a multidisciplinary approach for the diagnosis of bone tumors.
