Surgical Pathology of the Gastrointestinal System: Bacterial,
Fungal, Viral, and Parasitic Infections provides a unique
diagnostic reference text for the pathologic diagnosis of
infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Written for the
practicing surgical pathologist, this text combines the superior
illustrations of an atlas with carefully written prose to create a
useful diagnostic companion. The text is divided into four sections
covering bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infections of the
gastrointestinal tract. The descriptive sections of each chapter
are organized into short paragraphs for easy reference and include
the use of tables to compare and contrast organisms and summarize
differential diagnoses. Each chapter is extensively illustrated,
and contains prose discussions of diagnostic features, differential
diagnoses, brief clinical descriptions, and ancillary tests that
help confirm the diagnosis (i.e. immunohistochemistry, special
histochemical stains, and molecular diagnostic techniques).
Surgical Pathology of the Gastrointestinal System: Bacterial,
Fungal, Viral, and Parasitic Infections provides pertinent
clinical, diagnostic, and epidemiologic information that will be
valuable to the practicing surgical pathologist. This volume will
also help surgical pathologists gain familiarity with other
contributory laboratory tests that are available to help confirm
diagnosis.
For over 60 years, residents and practicing pathologists have
turned to Rosai and Ackerman's Surgical Pathology for definitive
guidance on every aspect of the field, delivered in a readable,
easy-to-digest, and engaging manner. In the two-volume 11th
Edition, a dynamic new author team ensures that this classic text
retains its signature anecdotal style, while revising the content
to bring you fully up to date. Widely used for board exam
preparation, as well as for everyday reference in practice, this
leading resource equips you to effectively and efficiently diagnose
the complete range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic entities.
Provides comprehensive coverage of the clinical presentation, gross
and microscopic features, ultrastructural and immunohistochemical
findings, prognosis, and therapy for virtually every pathologic
lesion. Presents content now grouped in sections corresponding to
organs and systems, making disease entities easier to locate.
Includes state-of-the-art coverage of the latest disease
classifications, molecular biology and pathology,
immunohistochemistry, genetics, prognostic/predictive markers, and
more - all highlighted by more than 3,000 full-color illustrations
of commonly seen pathologies. Showcases the knowledge and expertise
of an innovative new author team: prolific author John R. Goldblum,
MD (GI pathology, soft tissue tumors); Laura Lamps, MD
(hepatobiliary, endocrine tumors, infectious disease); Jesse
McKenney, MD (GU/GYN, soft tissue tumors); and Jeff Myers, MD
(pulmonary, pleural, mediastinum); accompanied by a select list of
subspecialty contributors. Expert ConsultT eBook version included
with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience allows you to search
all of the text, figures, Q&As, and references from the book on
a variety of devices.
Pathologists play a particularly important role in the care of
patients with persistent gastrointestinal symptoms, especially
those who are immunosuppressed, suffer from immune-mediated
conditions, or undergo treatment for malignancies. They must be
able to focus on key features present in biopsy material in order
to narrow the differential diagnosis and facilitate patient
management. This atlas addresses these needs in a succinct and
pragmatic fashion. It describes practical approaches to the
diagnosis of inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders and provides
helpful criteria to distinguish between newly recognized causes of
esophagitis and gastritis.
