Surgical neuropathology is a challenging arena for many
pathologists, due in large part to a relative lack of experience of
most pathologists in this area compared to other areas of surgical
pathology. "Brain Tumors" is intended to address this need with
cases drawn from the surgical neuropathology practices of the
authors.
This volume provides examples of over 100 brain tumors, running
the gamut from the very common to the rare. Each example is
presented in a case based format and the wide variety of cases
presented covers the entire scope of brain tumors and offers the
opportunity to review both the basics for the beginner or
relatively inexperienced pathologist and also offers experienced
pathologists the chance to see some of the rare entities.
Each case is formatted as if it were a consult case and includes
a brief clinical history, description of the pathologic findings
with numerous illustrations, the line diagnosis, discussion of the
entity, and the diagnostic thought process as well pertinent
references for further reading. When relevant, current practical
applications of immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology are
discussed. The Consultant Pathology Series
"The Consultant Pathology series" is designed to disseminate the
knowledge of expert surgical pathology consultants in the analysis
and diagnosis of difficult cases to the full community of pathology
practitioners. The volumes are based on actual consultations and
presented in a format that illustrates the expert's process of
evaluating the case, including indications for consultation, the
consultants findings and comment, and discussion of the entity that
amplifies the case description. Each volume in the "Consultant
Pathology series" is authored by international experts with
extensive case experience in the areas covered
