"Diagnostic Pathology: Neuropathology" is the newest title in the
popular "Diagnostic Pathology" series by Amirsys. This extensively
illustrated book showcases nearly 1,700 high-quality pathology
images, including a variety of pathology stains and professionally
designed medical illustrations. Utilizing the classic Amirsys
bulleted text format, essential information is condensed for fast
and easy comprehension while the Key Facts section provides quick
reference to the most critical considerations. In this must-have
guide, expert neuropathologists carefully help the reader identify
crucial elements of each diagnosis along with hundreds of potential
differential diagnoses. This handsome volume will serve as a
valuable go-to resource for pathologists needing expert guidance in
neuropathology.

This edition describes the spectrum of neoplasms, hamartomas,
hyperplasias, reactive lesions, and inflammatory pseudotumours
arising from, or associated with, peripheral nerves. Included are
lesions affecting spinal nerves and extradural portions of cranial
nerves. Specifically excluded from this discussion are lesions of
the optic nerve, a central nervous system structure. Peripheral
nerve tumours are generally classified as soft tissue tumours, but
they differ significantly from most neoplasms in this category.
Notable differences include the frequent association of nerve
sheath tumours with genetic disorders and the origin of a majority
of malignant nerve sheath tumours from neurofibroma, a benign
precursor lesion. Furthermore, tumours of peripheral nerves are
histologically diverse and arise in a complex tissue with
distinctive anatomic compartments. This volume will be a useful
reference for pathologists, residents and students for many years.
In the decade since the publication of the Third Series Fascicle on
Tumors of the Central Nervous System, many new entities have been
described, prognostic significance of certain tumor subtypes
established, grading systems revised, and molecular features have
been correlated with tumor types and grades. Drs. Burger and
Scheithauer have integrated all of these new findings, as well as
classical morphological clinical and neuroradiological descriptions
and illustrations, into an entirely new and completely up-to-date
text/atlas that demystifies the complex subject of CNS tumors and
tumor-like lesions for the general pathologists. The discussion of
normal anatomy includes cytologic and radiologic correlations, as
do discussions of each of the common and rare CNS lesions.
Virtually all of the non-radiographic illustrations are in color,
and references are current through 2006 and 2007 (the 2007 World
Health Organization classification is used throughout the
Fascicle). In addition to encyclopedic coverage of CNS neoplasms,
approximately 15 percent of the almost 600 text pages are devoted
to the numerous benign tumor-like lesions of various etiologies
that may be mistaken for neoplasms. A set of fifteen Appendices is
devoted to differential diagnostic algorithms which simplify the
approach to a difficult specimen. The authoritative yet
user-friendly approach of the authors has created a work that will
be useful for many years to both pathologist and clinicians
interested in tumors of the central nervous system.
