Silverberg*s Principles and Practice of Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology: 2-Volume Set (Silverberg, Principles and Practice of Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology 2v Set)

"Nearly all significant disease processes that could conceivably appear under the microscope--from abetalipoproteinemia to zygomycosis--are covered." (JAMA) Thoroughly revised and updated, the state-of-the-art New Edition of this respected reference encompasses the entire field of surgical pathology in a single source. Its uncommonly practice-oriented format integrates surgical pathology with cytopathology to present all the relevant features of a particular lesion or disease side by side. 3,200 clinical images―more than 3,000 in full color―depict basic morphology, immunofluorescence, gross specimens, and special cytochemical and histochemical stains.

• Emphasizes a practical approach to differential diagnosis.
  
• Focuses on the information readers need when discussing specific lesions in specific patients with other clinicians.
  
• Features the expertise of leading surgical, cytological, and molecular pathologists to guarantee that all pertinent material is considered in each chapter.
  
• Makes reference easy with an organization based on SNOMED coding.
  
• Offers valuable chapters on infectious disease · immunologically-mediated disease and transplantation · iatrogenic lesions · differential diagnosis of metastatic tumors · and many other key topics.

• Provides comprehensive cytologic correlations for each organ, where relevant, to mirror the practice of pathology today.
  
• Incorporates the knowledge and expertise of two respected new co-editors―Virginia LiVolsi and Mark Wick.
  
• Includes a bonus CD-ROM that makes all of the two volumes' illustrations easy to incorporate into electronic presentations.

"The format consists of an introductory section followed by organ-based chapters. Silverberg (U. of Maryland School of Medicine) is joined by four associate editors who together have shaped material from numerous contributors (only a few are veterans of the first edition) into 48 chapters presented in two well- made volumes." --Sci Tech Book News, March 2006
