Histopathology Of The Ear Nose And Throat

This second edition has been expanded and revised by Leslie Michaels in conjunction with the new co-author Henrik B. Hellquist. It now covers the advances that have taken place in the field since 1987. As a standard work in the field ENT histopathology, this second edition now includes sections on the salivary glands, lesions in the neck, and advances in molecular pathology. The content reflects the massive growth in molecular pathology that has taken place in all branches of histopathology.

In this work I endeavour to explain the morphological changes in diseases of the human ear, nose, larynx and pharynx. Efficient ENT practice, like that in other surgical specialties, relies on close collaboration between surgeon and pathologist through the medium of biopsies. Accordingly much of the present volume emphasizes diagnostic surgical pathology. The role of the pathologist is, however, a broader one-in otolaryngology as in other specialties-contributing as well to an understanding of the disease processes. For this pur pose autopsy study is important and nowhere more so than in the disease of the inner ear, an area which has been developed mainly by otologists, but neglected by pathologists. It is hoped that, by displaying the interest and potential for development of such fields, this book may stimulate some pathologists to work in them. I kept in mind while writing the possibility that it might also be useful to ENT clinicians as a review of the pathology of their specialty.

The twelfth edition of this textbook has been fully revised to present undergraduates and ENT trainees with the most recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose and throat diseases. Organised by anatomical region, each section begins with anatomy and physiology then covers the investigation, diagnosis and management of related diseases and disorders. Each section includes multiple choice questions (MCQs) for self assessment. This new edition includes many new illustrations, as well as additional chapters on neck masses, chemotherapy for head or neck tumours, otolaryngologic concerns in syndromal children, and histopathology of common ENT diseases.

This revised and expanded second edition provides a comprehensive and up-to-date pictorial overview of the majority of ENT conditions. When making a diagnosis, it is of paramount importance that the ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist views the lesion and recognizes its pathology. Recent advances in endoscopic technology have enabled us to obtain clear images of such lesions and have changed our approach to diseases and techniques in the fields of ENT and head and neck surgery. Featuring schematic drawings to make difficult topics more understandable, the book supports beginners in their search for the correct diagnosis, and increases their understanding of basic surgical approaches. It provides fundamental information required for diagnosis and treatment in an easily accessible form, while the tables, photographs and schematic drawings allow readers to grasp the problems quickly. It is also a useful guide for all experts involved in teaching diagnostic and surgical skills. Diagnosis in Otorhinolaryngology 2nd Edition is intended for general practitioners, medical students and ENT trainees, fellows, academicians and teachers.
