This book covers the complete field of head and neck pathology – from abscess to Wegener's granulomatosis. The alphabetically arranged entries, each of which provides a detailed description of a specific pathological disease pattern, allow readers to quickly and easily find the information they need. The purpose is to provide a systematic overview of head and neck pathology in an encyclopedic fashion and to supplement the medical literature with a reference work. Although written primarily for general pathologists, this will also be useful for pathology residents and others in head and neck pathology. This volume will find its place in the expanding arena of pathology books, as it is a valuable contribution to the field.

COBISS.SI-ID: 32660441This book provides a comprehensive description of the pathology of the head and neck region, concentrating especially on those pathologic entities that are unique to or characteristic of the head and neck. The new edition retains the ten chapters of the first edition, all updated and improved, and additionally contains seven entirely new chapters and a more detailed subject index. The number of illustrations has been substantially increased, and various lesions absent in the original edition have been included. Throughout, attention is paid to correlation of pathology with epidemiology, clinical features, pathogenesis, and molecular genetics. Differential diagnosis is addressed, and information is also provided on staging, prognosis, and therapy. The authors include foremost experts in the field, some of whom are senior members of the Working Group on Head and Neck Pathology of the European Society of Pathology.This is a valuable reference for practicing pathologists as well as pathology residents, especially those looking for a comprehensive work that includes rare conditions and their differential diagnoses. This is an excellent, systematic, and thoughtful resource on the very broad field of head and neck pathology, which is a valuable addition to a personal or departmental library.

COBISS.SI-ID: 282409216With its many diagnostic categories, relevant variants, and rare tumors, soft tissue pathology is one of the most challenging areas of surgical pathology. Focusing on the cutaneous soft tissue specimens and reactive mimics most likely to be encountered by pathologists and dermatopathologists, Diagnostic Atlas of Cutaneous Mesenchymal Neoplasia is a superbly illustrated, easy-to-use atlas designed to be used besides the microscope for efficient diagnosis and classification of soft tissue tumors of the skin.
