DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Pathologists and pathology residents, look no further: Biopsy
Interpretation: Pediatric Lesions is your practical, essential guide to
pediatric biopsies. This how-to guide is the perfect bench reference for
both the pediatric pathologist tasked with interpreting pediatric biopsies
and the general surgical pathologist. Authored by a panel of top experts,
the topics covered include a wide spectrum of diseases that afflict
children, laying a comprehensive framework for diagnosing both the
common and not-so-common diseases that can be identified by biopsy.
If you’re a medical professional faced with the challenge of interpreting
pediatric biopsies, this reference will prove indispensable to your day-
to-day life.
The Second Edition of Biopsy Interpretation: The Frozen Section, a
volume in the Biopsy Interpretation Series, addresses the frozen section,
which is one of several intraoperative consultative options. It illustrates
the practical use of the frozen section in the management of clinical
problems, especially tumors. The demands of patient care require
knowledge of the assets and limitations of the frozen section, including
the practical techniques of its execution, interpretation, and the
communication of its results. Although the frozen section is the focus,
the central idea behind this book is intraoperative consultation and
patient management. This edition features updates to the organ system
based chapters as well as a revised chapter on pediatric pathology. Two
new chapters on hematopathology and a review of published literature
have also been added. The goal of this book is to not only provide
updated information on the practice of frozen section, but also to help
explain the role the general surgical pathologist can play in the treatment
of patients.
