DESCRIPTION Effectively diagnose the complete range of pediatric pathologies, from neonatal disorders through adolescence. Intended for a broad audience including general and pediatric pathologists, pediatricians, surgeons, oncologists, and other pediatric subspecialties, Stocker & Dehner’s Pediatric Pathology is widely recognized as the definitive go-to comprehensive clinical reference in the unique subspecialty of pediatric pathology – which, unlike other subspecialties, is defined by an age group rather than an organ system or process. The tumors that occur in in- fants and children are distinct from those that develop in adults, and they often exhibit exceptional clinical behav- ior, thus requiring different diagnostic and therapeutic protocols. Authored by a host of prominent authorities on this challenging area, the fourth edition of Stocker & Dehner’s Pediatric Pathology was designed to be a compre- hensive volume on all major aspects of the pathologic anatomy of childhood disorders, providing the in-depth, richly illustrated guidance you need to confidently evaluate and dependably report your findings. Sweeping up- dates in this edition put all of the very latest knowledge and techniques at your fingertips. Find authoritative answers on everything from how to perform a pediatric autopsy or apply the latest molecular techniques, to diagnosing chromosomal abnormalities, congenital anomalies and malformation syndromes, inborn errors of metabolism, and congenital and acquired systemic infectious diseases; from how to approach forensic pathology and transplant pathology, to evaluating the pathologies of each organ system and pediatric tumors.  Content and observations are integrated from other chapters to convey a sense of unity in the study of the child as a whole.  Appendices featuring over 50 seminal charts and tables on fetal, infant, and child development.  A focus on key pathologic findings as well as the latest molecular genetic tools and the role that these findings play in pathologic diagnosis.  Locate the information you need quickly thanks to an intuitive organization by disease classifica- tion and organ system.  Identify pathologic features successfully with the aid of more than 1,300 gross and microscopic images, including 1,200 in full color.  Exclusive online content with over 300 additional images.
