Dail and Hammar’s Pulmonary Pathology has established itself as the definitive reference in the field. This third edition is now a two-volume, full color text and has been thoroughly updated to cover newly recognized entities and the latest advances in molecular diagnostic techniques. It is abundantly illustrated with more than 2,000 illustrations in total, 1,900 of which are in full color. This first volume focuses on Nonneoplastic lung diseases, and Volume II covers Neoplastic Lung Diseases. It is an outstanding contribution to pathology literature and a must-have for the library of every surgical and pulmonary pathologist.

The exponential increase in knowledge in all branches Pulmonary Pathology, written by multiple authors of science, including pathology, has resulted in an ava working in their respective areas of interest, is intended lanche of scientific literature which is now too extensive to provide the reader with up-to-date information. In for most people to digest. This certainly applies to the the years ahead, new lung diseases will be discovered, field of pulmonary pathology. One has only to reflect some of which may still be confused with classical dis on the better understanding of many disease processes eases of great antiquity. For example, during the 1970s, and the description of many new diseases in the lung Legionella pneumonia has been separated from pneu in the last 40 years to appreciate these changes. For mococcal lobar pneumonia, with which it was almost this reason alone, a summary of the present knowledge certainly confused in the past. Although some of the conditions discussed in this is both essential and timely. Pathology is undergoing a metamorphosis, with new book are uncommon or even rare, ignorance of these diagnostic methods employing antibodies and other rare diseases is no longer acceptable. Pathologists newly developed techniques to make diagnoses more involved in day-to-day practice are expected to precise. Until recently, these new techniques have have knowledge of ongoing advances in their field.

Part of the in-depth and practical Pattern Recognition series, Practical Pulmonary Pathology, 4th Edition, helps you arrive at an accurate diagnosis by using a pattern-based approach. Leading diagnosticians in pulmonary pathology offer practical assistance in identifying all major neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the lungs, guiding you from a pathological pattern through the appropriate work-up, around the pitfalls, and to the best diagnosis. More than 1,000 high-quality illustrations capture key morphologic patterns for a full range of common and rare conditions and assist in the interpretation of complex diagnostic puzzles. A unique "visual index at the beginning of the book directs you to the exact chapter and specific page you need for in-depth diagnostic guidance. - Helps you quickly recognize the vast variety of appearances of the lung that result from infections, tumors, and tumor-like lesions, both malignant and benign. - Discusses advances in molecular diagnostic testing, its capabilities and its limitations, including targeted/personalized medicine. - Incorporates clinicopathologic background and relevant data from ancillary techniques (immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics), giving you the tools you need to master the latest breakthroughs in diagnostic technology. - Covers the latest TNM staging and WHO classification systems, as well as new diagnostic biomarkers and their utility in differential diagnosis, newly described variants, and new histologic entities. - Color-codes patterns to specific entities, and summarizes key points in tables, charts, and graphs so you can quickly and easily find what you are looking for. - Shares the knowledge and expertise of new co-editor, Dr. Maxwell L. Smith. - Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

A distinguished panel of experts concisely interprets recent diagnostic advances in classic pathology to produce a readily accessible guide that helps the practicing pathologist achieve accurate everyday diagnoses. Arranging the important diagnostic features of the most common diseases and tumors by organ systems, this book provides for each disease the pertinent clinical information, its salient diagnostic features, relevant ancillary data (e.g., immunohistochemical profiles), the main differential diagnoses, and the latest tumor staging information, thus ensuring easy access to all the information essential for case sign-out. Authoritative and richly detailed, Essentials of Anatomic Pathology concisely summarizes all the critical information every pathologist needs today to recognize, understand, and accurately interpret both gross and light microscopic findings in anatomic pathology specimens.

This new edition is a complete guide to diagnostic imaging of the chest and cardiovascular system. Beginning with an overview of chest radiology, techniques and anatomy, the following sections discuss imaging for different pulmonary diseases. The second part of the book covers diagnostic imaging for cardiovascular disorders and includes a chapter on children with congenital heart disease. The fourth edition has been fully revised to provide radiologists with the latest information in their field, and includes new chapters on basic patterns of lung disease on CT, and miscellaneous interstitial lung diseases such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, lipoid pneumonia, and emphysema. The comprehensive text features discussion on the increasing use of image-guided interventions, and is further enhanced by radiological images and tables. Key points Fourth edition presenting latest advances in diagnostic imaging for pulmonary and cardiovascular disorders Fully revised text with new topics added Highly illustrated with radiological images and tables Previous edition (9788184488685) published in 2010

Taken from the acclaimed Second Edition of Pulmonary Pathology, these five core chapters on benign and malignant pulmonary and pleural tumors now comprise an authoritative text in their own right. Over 850 illustrations - gross dissection specimens, photomicrographs, electron micrographs, radiographs, CT scans and more - of the same top quality found in the parent volume supplement the text. Of special note: problem areas in diagnosis are discussed from the viewpoints of three experienced pulmonary pathologists. More compact and convenient to use than its encyclopedic parent volume, Pulmonary Pathology - Tumors is ideal for pathologists, including residents, who need strategically focussed coverage of the tumors typically encountered in practice.

Summarizes many of the advances made in this area and reviews in depth the topics and treatment techniques not widely used in daily practice. New chapters to this second edition include: New Techniques to Manage Pain; Advances in Diagnostic Imaging; Management of Germ Cell Tumors of the Mediastinum, Updates on Diaphragmatic Pacing; and Preoperative Evaluation of Neuro-Motor Diseases of the Esophagus.

A practical, concise manual for diagnosing lung biopsy specimens. Clarifies accepted diagnostic criteria for non-neoplastic lung diseases and establishes new criteria where needed. Also emphasizes the important features in differential diagnosis. This 3rd edition contains over 100 new photomicrographs, new tables covering diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis, extensively updated references, and many new and rewritten sections.
