While a pattern approach to diagnosis is taught and practiced with
almost every other tissue or organ in the body, the lymph node
remains a mystery to most residents starting out in pathology and
those pathologists with limited experience in the area. A Pattern
Approach to Lymph Node Diagnosis demonstrates that a systematic
approach to lymph node examination can be achieved through
recognition of morphological patterns produced by different disease
processes. It presents a combination of knowledge-based assessment
and pattern recognition for diagnosis covering the major primary
neoplastic and non neoplastic diseases and metastatic tumors in
lymph nodes. This volume demonstrates that lymph node compartments
can be recognized histologically especially with the aid of
immunohistological markers and how this knowledge can be employed
effectively to localize and identify pathological changes in the
different compartments in order to facilitate histological
diagnosis. It also defines histological features that, because of
their pathological occurrence in lymph nodes, are useful pointers
to specific diagnoses or disease processes. The volume is organized
in accordance with the primary pattern of presentation of each
diagnostic entity. Differential diagnosis is discussed and each
diagnostic entity is accompanied by color illustrations that
highlight the diagnostic features. Immunohistochemistry, clinical
aspects, relevant cytogenetics and molecular information of each
entity is provided by authors who are experts in
lymphoproliferative diseases. An algorithmic approach to diagnosis
is adopted at the end of each section by listing a set of questions
that help to consider diagnostic entities that can present with the
morphological features observed. A Pattern Approach to Lymph Node
Diagnosis will be of great utility to residents and fellows in
pathology and general pathologists making first hand lymph node
diagnoses as well as to hematologists and physicians who treat
patients with lymphoprolifeative diseases.
