Atlas Of Liver Pathology

The liver is a complex organ due to its unique microscopic structure, intricate metabolic functions and susceptibility to a wide variety of insults, manifesting in countless histological patterns. Atlas of Liver Pathology considers both changes seen in medical liver biopsies as well as lesional biopsies when the specimen has been taken from a mass. The book starts by reviewing normal structure and its variants and the optimal approaches for the preparation of histological sections for diagnostic liver pathology. The following chapters are dedicated to developmental, metabolic, infectious, drug related, autoimmune, biliary, vascular and neoplastic disorders. Two sections on liver pathology in pregnancy and transplantation conclude the work. Macroscopic illustrations are included where appropriate. All photographs are complemented by legends describing the picture and providing relevant related information. Authored by nationally and internationally recognized pathologists, Atlas of Liver Pathology is a valuable resource that serves as a quick reference guide for the diagnosis of usual and unusual diseases.

Part of the new Pattern-Based Approach series, designed to teach pathology in a way that reflects actual sign-out, this new visually-oriented guidebook presents real-life cases and practical diagnostic tips. Disease processes are organized into ‘patterns’ of injury—the method by which pathologists approach their work—and self-assessment quizzes are provided for each chapter to give you experience with high-yield, board-style teaching topics.

Liver Pathology: An Atlas and Concise Guide provides pathologists, hepatologists, gastroenterologists, residents and fellows in their respective fields with an up-to-date guide to the differential diagnosis, interpretation and diagnosis of liver specimens. The book guides the reader to understand common histologic patterns and key pathologic features of the more common liver disorders. Liver Pathology: An Atlas and Concise Guide contains over 600 high-quality color images demonstrating the histopathologic and immunohistichemical findings supported by concise text including frequently associated clinical findings, pathologic features (histology, immunohistochemistry, molecular studies), differential diagnoses, and key references. Liver Pathology: An Atlas and Concise Guide provides the "fundamentals" of liver pathology in a straightforward, problem-oriented presentation of key points and typical differentials based on what you are likely to see. Liver Pathology: An Atlas and Concise Guide includes Focus on classic features that every pathologist is likely to see Differential diagnoses presented in tables for efficient overview Hundreds of high quality images selected to demonstrate key pathologic features and emphasize differential diagnosis Selected references and review articles to lead the reader to further investigation when needed

Needle biopsy of the liver is now an accepted procedure in most large hospitals, and surgeons and laparoscopists are more likely to biopsy the liver under direct vision than in the past. Consequently, increasing demands are being made on pathologists for rapid diagnosis. This full colour atlas provides a practical guide to the histopathological diagnosis of liver disorders, with particular emphasis on clinicopathological correlation and the need for the pathologist to be in full possession of all the available clinical information. Although containing over 350 colour illustrations, the book is more than just an atlas and each section includes a brief description of the main clinical and pathological features of the subject under discussion. For this second edition, many chapters have been rewritten - e.g. on viral hepatitis - and many new illustrations added. The book is intended for the practising and trainee pathologist and the clinician who performs liver biopsies, but will also be of value to postgraduates, residents and students in other branches of medicine.

This atlas is designed to be a user-friendly bench-side reference for pathology trainees and general pathologists in handling and interpreting specimens of hepatocellular carcinoma. It provides over 550 high-quality gross and microscopic photos focusing on hepatocellular carcinoma and its mimickers, and demonstrating a full range of various histological variants of hepatocellular carcinoma. Introductory text in each chapter summarises salient clinical associations, pathological features, and molecular alterations of different variants of hepatocellular carcinoma. Differentiation between hepatocellular carcinoma and its mimickers is illustrated through various case studies. The authors are nationally and internationally recognized hepatopathologists in the Asian-Pacific regions (Hong Kong, Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore), in which the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is high.The authors are nationally and internationally recognized hepatopathologists in the Asian-Pacific regions (Hong Kong, Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore), in which the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is high.The authors are nationally and internationally recognized hepatopathologists in the Asian-Pacific regions (Hong Kong, Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore), in which the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is high.The authors are nationally and internationally recognized hepatopathologists in the Asian-Pacific regions (Hong Kong, Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore), in which the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is high.The authors are nationally and internationally recognized hepatopathologists in the Asian-Pacific regions (Hong Kong, Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore), in which the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is high./divThe authors are nationally and internationally recognized hepatopathologists in the Asian-Pacific regions (Hong Kong, Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore), in which the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is high./divThe authors are nationally and internationally recognized hepatopathologists in the Asian-Pacific regions (Hong Kong, Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore), in which the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is high./div

"The Pattern-Based Approach series is dedicated to providing pathology textbooks that more closely reflect the challenges of daily sign-out than conventional texts do. In other words, the focus is on practical clinical and histological findings that you actually need to know. This stands in contrast to books dedicated to comprehensive coverage, for which the goal is to provide all information about an entity, much of which is interesting, much of which is not, and most of which is not that important in getting your case signed out properly. That is not to mean that this book covers only common entities because it does not neglect the rare entities either. Instead, the focus is always on practical findings that are good to know, including clinical, histological, and molecular findings, but with an emphasis on histology. For this reason, there are lots of images (790), succinct text, and organizational tools as outlined below that make the book even easier to navigate. Liver pathology can be very challenging and a pattern-based approach is the perfect starting point for providing excellent patient care. This book is not perfect, as few books are, but I hope you like it and find it useful, especially when you are working on actual clinical material. In the end, I believe that there is no greater calling for a textbook than to be considered practical and useful by those who have it in their offices. "--Provided by publisher

Atlas of Lymph Node Pathology reviews the histopathology of nodal diseases, illustrating the use of ancillary studies and includes concise discussions of pathogenesis, clinical settings and clinical significance of the pathologic diagnosis. The atlas features an overview of the benign reactive processes secondary to infectious, environmental or unknown insults, as well as relevant illustrations of virtually all primary and secondary neoplasms involving lymph nodes. The atlas also includes macroscopic images of some disorders, tables that help readers understand and comprehend diseases that look alike, and diagnostic algorithms for certain groups of diseases. Authored by highly experienced pathologists, Atlas of Lymph Node Pathology is a valuable resource that illustrates the vast majority of diseases practicing pathologists, clinicians and oncologists are likely to encounter in daily practice.
