Summary:
This atlas is a comprehensive pictorial and textual guide to the
diagnosis and management of intraocular tumors and pseudotumors.
Featuring 1,474 photographs and surgical drawings--1,226 in full
color--the atlas describes and illustrates the clinical
variations, histopathologic characteristics, and treatment of
all lesions that affect the uveal tract, retina, and other
intraocular structures. Coverage encompasses the entire range of
benign and malignant lesions and includes both common and rare
conditions. The book is rich in clinicopathologic correlations
and clinical "pearls" based on the authors' 25 years of
experience in medical and surgical ophthalmic oncology at the
Wills Eye Hospital.
Each entity is presented in an easy-to-follow format: concise
text with references on the left-hand page and six illustrations
on the right-hand page. The detail-revealing photographs vividly
depict the gross and microscopic features that distinguish each
condition. Professional drawings and intraoperative photographs
demonstrate key surgical principles and procedures.
The three atlases prepared by Drs. Shields and Shields--Atlas of
Eyelid and Conjunctival Tumors, Atlas of Intraocular Tumors, and
Atlas of Orbital Tumors--can be purchased together as a money-
saving package.
