Description

This book serves as a review and update of major issues and challenges in the field of liver pathology in a question and answer (Q&A) format. Given the competitive landscape of existing reference texts and the demand for practical, up-to-date resources, this book was created to provide focused, accessible, and expert-driven content. This question-driven resource includes over 300 carefully curated questions that address common, complex, and critical issues frequently encountered in both routine practice and consultation services. While many answers are direct and evidence-based, others address areas of diagnostic uncertainty or clinical dilemma. For these topics, expert perspectives are provided to illustrate nuanced thought processes and practical approaches to challenging cases, helping clinicians make well-informed decisions.

This volume is structured by disease entity and pathologic process. With clearly labeled chapters and categorized questions, readers can efficiently locate diagnostic criteria, differential diagnoses, and essential pathologic features for specific conditions. Practical Liver Pathology: Frequently Asked Questions serves as a reliable, user-friendly reference that supports accurate diagnosis and promotes best practices in liver pathology.
