Diagnostic Pathology: Pediatrics offers expert guidance on over 170 of the most important benign and malignant pediatric neoplasm diagnoses. This 860-page book is divided into 16 sections that encompass every major organ system covering all the important pediatric neoplasms. Each chapter covers the main clinical, gross, and microscopic features in a systematic way that allows the pathologist to quickly arrive at the correct diagnosis. Unique to this book are the image galleries. Most textbooks include a limited number of images of the more common diagnoses (usually only one or two images), but this book includes a minimum of at least 5 images per diagnosis. Overall, the book includes over 2,431 stunning pathologic and radiographic images, along with several high-color medical illustrations. Each image is carefully annotated to highlight the elements that are most diagnostically significant. Many of the diagnoses discussed in this book contain images from entities in the differential diagnosis that allow for easy and quick comparisons when considering more than one diagnosis. In addition, ancillary techniques such as immunohistochemistry, molecular, and cytology are included for those neoplasms that may require other techniques in their work up. Lastly, this book features the classic benefits of all Amirsys® titles, including time-saving bulleted text, Key Facts in each chapter, stunning annotated images, extensive index, and Amirsys eBook Advantage(tm), an online version of the print book with larger images and fully searchable text

This richly illustrated book will help presurgically diagnose pediatric/young adult tumors. The content is divided into two parts. The first part shows step-by-step how to perform a small volume specimen such as fine needle aspiration/core needle biopsy and how to correlate the morphology with the clinical, radiological, and/or molecular information. In turn, the second part presents a comprehensive overview of the various tumor entities. The content represents diagnostic modalities from the major diagnostic centers worldwide, and is supplemented by the authors` 25 years of experience in diagnosing pediatric tumors. This book will successfully guide practitioners, researchers and oncology pediatricians through the process of sample harvesting and diagnosing. Pediatric tumors represent a large variety of lesions including pseudotumors of inflammatory and non-inflammatory origin, various types of lympadenopathy, benign lesions, specific sarcomas, and blastemal malignancies. These age-specific and histotype-specific tumors of various origin, evolution and prognosis are often characteristic in morphological and molecular levels, making their diagnosis highly specialized.

This expert volume in the Diagnostic Pathology series is an excellent point-of-care resource for practitioners at all levels of experience and training. Covering all areas of nonneoplastic pediatric pathology, it incorporates the most recent clinical, pathological, and molecular knowledge in this challenging field to provide a comprehensive overview of all key issues relevant to today’s practice. Richly illustrated and easy to use, Diagnostic Pathology: Nonneoplastic Pediatrics, second edition, is a one-stop reference for accurate, complete pathology reports, ideal as a day-to-day reference or as a reliable training resource. Provides a clear framework for a better understanding of the clinical and histopathologic appearances of more than 270 nonneoplastic entities, covering every organ system with a focus on reactive, infectious, congenital, and genetic conditions Covers significant advances in this complex field, including recent molecular discoveries and updated disease entities, new information on multiple immunologic disorders, changes and expansions to several classification systems (such as WHO, Banff, and ISSVA), and updates in other scoring systems Contains new chapters on manifestations of pediatric COVID-19 infection, tumoral calcinosis, multiple skeletal dysplasia, skeletal muscle, collagenous gastritis and colitis, adenovirus appendicitis, intestinal pseudoobstruction, disorders of sexual development, and Kikuchi disease Includes approximately 3,000 high-quality clinical and histologic images, gross pathology images, radiologic images, and full-color illustrations to help practicing and in-training pathologists reach a confident diagnosis—as well as nearly 200 additional images online Employs consistently templated chapters and bulleted content for quick, expert reference at the point of care
