Offering comprehensive yet practical coverage on diagnosis and differential diagnosis in one of the most challenging
areas of surgical pathology, Enzinger and Weiss’s Soft Tissue Tumors, edited by Drs. Andrew L. Folpe and G. Petur Nielsen, continues the tradition of excellence in this fully revised 8th Edition.
It provides clear guidance from cover to cover with detailed, well-written, logically organized information on the full spectrum of these complex tumors.
Practicing and trainee pathologists will find complete coverage of diagnosis of tumors by microscopy, immunohistochemistry,
and molecular genetics, while clinicians who most frequently see these diseases―dermatologists, orthopaedists, and oncologists―will also benefit from a
considerable amount of clinically significant information of interest to their field.
