Diagnostic Atlas Of Non Neoplastic Lung Disease

Diagnostic Atlas of Non-Neoplastic Lung Disease provides the practicing pathologist with the tools necessary to synthesize diagnoses in biopsy and surgical specimens of non-neoplastic lung disease. Classification of non-neoplastic lung disease has become increasingly complex, especially in diffuse lung diseases where terminology has been changing and clinical and radiologic input is advocated for diagnosis. As a result, general surgical pathologists may feel ill-equipped to interpret such specimens. In this heavily illustrated and concisely written book, Dr. Katzenstein, a leading authority in pulmonary pathology, has brought a pattern-based approach to formulating diagnoses in non-neoplastic lung diseases with the non-expert pulmonary pathologist in mind. Chapters are organized according to pattern of lung involvement with the idea that once the pattern is recognized the pathologist can easily find examples and review the relevant disease within the corresponding chapter. Filled with tips and key features to navigate differential diagnosis, Diagnostic Atlas of Non-Neoplastic Lung Disease is an indispensable guide for pathologists who encounter non-neoplastic lung specimens in the lab. Key Features: Written by a respected pulmonary pathologist with over 40 years’ experience in the lab Over 350 high quality illustrative photomicrographs, many with low and high magnification views Emphasizes a pattern-based approach for formulating diagnoses Provides helpful tips for establishing diagnosis and avoiding misdiagnosis Relevant clinical information including patient demographics, presenting manifestations, and radiographic findings where important for pathologic diagnosis

Atlas of Lung Pathology offers a comprehensive survey of common and uncommon conditions likely to be encountered in a wide range of practices. It begins with a review of normal macroscopic and microscopic lung anatomy followed by practical tips on how to handle the most common specimens received in pathology practice. Non-neoplastic conditions are segregated into logical categories intended to make them easily accessible to quickly offer solutions for diagnostic problems encountered in daily practice. Each illustration was carefully chosen using images drawn from experienced contributors familiar with the challenges of diagnostic pulmonary pathology.​

Closely mirroring the daily sign-out process, Atlas of Pulmonary Pathology: A Pattern Based Approach is a highly illustrated, efficient guide to accurate diagnosis. This practical reference uses a proven, pattern-based approach to clearly explain how to interpret challenging cases by highlighting red flags in the clinical chart and locating hidden clues in the slides. Useful as a daily “scope-side guide,” it features numerous clinical and educational features that help you find pertinent information, reach a correct diagnosis, and assemble a thorough and streamlined pathology report. More than 1,500 high-quality photomicrographs capture the subtle morphologic spectrum of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic lung biopsies. Each image is captioned with key diagnostic considerations and includes call-outs showing subtle features and diagnostic clues. Practical tools throughout the text include: Tables that emphasize salient clinicopathologic features, management implications, and therapeutic options Discussions of how and when to incorporate molecular tools Checklists for key elements of the diagnostic approach and sample notes for inclusion in pathology reports Relevant endoscopic images, photographs of select gross specimens, and medical figures Brief reviews of normal histology that provide contrast to succeeding patterns “Pearls and Pitfalls” and “Near Misses” sections with lessons from real life sign-out experience “Frequently Asked Questions” sections that discuss common diagnostic dilemmas “Sample Note” sections that offer a template of how to sign out cases from the simple to the complex Comprehensive quiz provides experience with high-yield, board-style teaching topics

Here's a practical, concise manual for diagnosing biopsy specimens. It clarifies accepted diagnostic criteria for non-neoplastic lung diseases; establishes new criteria where needed; and emphasizes the important features in differential diagnosis. A generous bibliography is provided so that you can obtain more in-depth details if desired. The result is enough clearly presented information to enable you to diagnose the majority of non-neoplastic lung diseases without the need for an "expert" opinion.

A practical diagnostic guide dealing exclusively with non-neoplastic lung disease. This edition presents new information on acute lung injury, institial pneumonia, lymphoid lung lesions, AIDS and the lung and drug-induced lung disease.
