Designed as a practical and very comprehensive reference for the practicing pathologist, Diagnostic Pathology Lymph Nodes and Spleen with Extranodal Lymphomas is a highly anticipated title in the Diagnostic Pathology series offered by Amirsys. As readers have come to expect from Amirsys reference tools, Diagnostic Pathology: Lymph Nodes and Spleen with Extranodal Lymphomas is filled with superior medical images, including gross and microscopic pathology, a wide range of pathology stains, ancillary tests and detailed medical illustrations. For each anatomical site, you'll find specimen examination protocols plus detailed immunohistochemistry panels to accompany the images. This one-of-a-kind book covers a variety of benign and malignant disorders and lymphomas, such as infectious causes of lymphadenitis, reactive lymphadenopathies, immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferations, and granulocytic tumors of the lymph nodes, spleen and extranodal sites. Additionally, as with our other Diagnostic Pathology titles, chapters include definitions, terminology, etiologies and pathogenesis, demographics, clinical presentations, therapy, prognoses, radiologic imaging, pathology, and differential diagnoses. The pathologic features are extensively detailed with descriptions of macroscopic features, microscopic findings, cytopathology, and ancillary studies. The latter include histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, molecular diagnostics and ultrastructural findings. This handsome volume will guide the reader through the intricacies of lymph node, spleen, and extranodal pathologies and the diagnosis of lymphomas and lymphadenopathies.

Lymphomas classically manifest themselves in the lymph nodes but can also present in other bodily tissues or systems; the organ where exactly they present may make a very great difference to the strategy that should be adopted for their management. This topic has only recently been consistently addressed as an issue on its own, apart from the rest

Diagnostic Lymph Node Pathology presents a logical and systematic approach to lymph node biopsies and guides general pathologists and haematopathologists alike through the maze of differential diagnoses, enabling them to reach an accurate diagnosis. The book is presented in an easy-to-read format and contains boxes for quick reference detailing the clinical, morphological, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of each entity. Thoroughly revised, the third edition also includes more than 300 high-quality histological colour photographs along with updated references. This edition covers both classical and less well-known features of individual disease processes. It is a valuable guide for both professionals and trainees.

During the 10 years since the last edition of this volume our knowledge on malignant lymphomas, especially on extranodal lymphomas, has increased. This volume is an expanded and completely revised edition, now based on the WHO classification. The parallels to the updated Kiel classification and the REAL classification are indicated. The information is organized in organ-specific chapters, comprising the well-known nodal lymphoma entities as well as all known extranodal lymphomas and the different organ-specific clinico-pathological entities: lymphomas of the spleen, the gastrointestinal tract, the skin, etc. In addition to the morphology, the major immunohistochemical, molecular genetic, and clinical data are included in each chapter.

Diagnostic Lymph Node Pathology is a comprehensive and generously illustrated guide, making it the ideal practical reference book. The international team of highly regarded haematopathologists write in an authoritative and accessible style with an emphasis on morphological evaluation as well as immunohistochemistry. The book clearly and logically presents the criteria for differential diagnosis with illustrations of both classical and less well-known features of each disease process. This will prove to be an essential guide for all surgical pathologists and haematopathologists involved in interpreting lymph node biopsies and will be an invaluable learning text for histopathologists in training.
