Synopses & Reviews
Taken from the acclaimed Second Edition of Pulmonary Pathology, these five core chapters on benign and malignant pulmonary and pleural tumors now comprise an authoritative text in their own right. Over 850 illustrations - gross dissection specimens, photomicrographs, electron micrographs, radiographs, CT scans and more - of the same top quality found in the parent volume supplement the text. Of special note: problem areas in diagnosis are discussed from the viewpoints of three experienced pulmonary pathologists. More compact and convenient to use than its encyclopedic parent volume, Pulmonary Pathology - Tumors is ideal for pathologists, including residents, who need strategically focussed coverage of the tumors typically encountered in practice.
Review
"I know of no better single resource on this topic than Pulmonary pathology - Tumors. I am sure that it will soon become a standard reference book in the libraries of individual practitioners and institutions." - The New England Journal of Medicine
Synopsis
Diagnosis of tumors is among the most commonly performed tasks in pulmonary pathology, and the chapters on tumors in Dail and Hammar: Pulmonary Pathology have been singled out for special praise for their authoritative discussions and comprehensive lists of references. In reviewing the first edition, "Diagnostic Cytopathology" said: "the chapter on common lung neoplasms is like a book within a book." In revising the chapter on uncommon lung tumors, Dr. Dail "added" nearly 500 new references and 100 new illustrations.
The present proposal is to make the chapters on tumors from the second edition of Pulmonary Pathology available to the broad range of pathology residents and clinicians who will not buy Pulmonary Pathology, 2nd ed. for their personal libraries because of its size and cost.
