The world's leading reference in hematopathology returns with this
completely updated second edition. Authored by international
experts in the field, it covers a broad range of hematologic
disorders -- both benign and malignant -- with information on the
pathogenesis, clinical and pathologic diagnosis, and treatment for
each. Comprehensive in scope, it's a must-have resource for both
residents and practicing pathologists alike. Authored by the chief
architects of the WHO classification in neoplasms of hematopoietic
and lymphoid tissue. Covers the newest diagnostic techniques,
including molecular, immunohistochemical, and genetic studies.
Confirm or challenge your diagnostic interpretations by comparing
specimens to over 1,000 high-quality color images. Boasts detailed,
practical advice from world leaders in hematopathology. Places an
emphasis on pathologic diagnoses, including molecular and genetic
testing. Updated with the most current WHO classifications of
hematologic disease, including lymphoma and leukemia and peripheral
T-cell lymphomas. Covers hot topics in hematopathology, such as the
latest genetic insights into lymphoma and leukemia; the new
nomenclature for myelodysplastic syndromes; new developments on the
subject of Grey zone lymphoma; and much more. Expert Consult eBook
version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience
allows you to search all of the text, figures, images, and
references from the book on a variety of devices. There's also a
downloadable image bank, and Virtual Microscope Slides are featured
in several chapters. Give your clinicians the best guidance with
this comprehensive reference in hematopathology.
One of the main reasons that this edition was undertaken is that
for some years there has been no single, up-to-date book containing
extensive information on benign and reactive lymphoid conditions.
Although malignant processes garner the majority of attention, it
is the benign processes that have an underlying complexity that is
often an illustration of the delicate interplay of many components
of the active immune system. In diagnosing the pathologic specimen,
a basic approach is: 1. To determine if the process is benign or
malignant. 2. If malignant, to characterise the origin of the
malignancy. 3. To subclassify or identify the process. In some
cases, the first part-the question of benign versus
malignant-cannot be resolved by histomorphologic evaluation alone.
The second part of the approach has become considerably easier with
the advent of immunophenotypic analysis. The final issue, that of
identification of the pathologic process, may be of greater or
lesser importance, depending on the clinical situation. If an exact
diagnosis can be made it can have several benefits. In the case of
neoplastic processes, it may indicate the type of treatment and the
prognosis. In benign processes, there are other important benefits
as well. Although some therapies may be instituted in benign
conditions, often simply naming a thing can have great benefit to
the patient. It is important to realise that even in the case of a
purely reactive process, finding a name, a category, a
classification, can provide real peace of mind to the patient. As
the American Journal of Clinical Pathology declares, "The hundreds
of images are the greatest asset of this book. There are
extraordinary renditions of such exquisite classic (yet rarely
illustrated) entities: `sago' and `lardaceous' spleens, `lollipop'
and `explosive' lymphoid follicles, multinucleated measles cells
and hyperplastic mesothelial inclusions, and sundry mystifying
diseases, including those known eponymously: Kawasaki, Kikuchi, and
Kimura." For pathologists and hematopathologists specifically, the
authors have created a book that will serve for years as a useful
guide to the multifaceted world of benign and reactive lesions of
the lymphoid system.
