Pathology of the Lungs 3/e

with an emphasis on practical diagnostic problem solving, pathology of the lungs 3e provides the pulmonary pathologist
and the general surgical pathologist with an accessible, comprehensive guide to the recognition and interpretation of
common and rare neoplastic and non-neoplastic lung conditions. the text is written by two authors and covers all topics
in a consistent manner without the redundancies or lapses that are common in multi-authored texts. the text is lavishly
illustrated with the highest quality illustrations which accurately depict the histologic, immunohistochemical and
cytologic findings under consideration and it is supplemented throughout with practical tips and advice from two
internationally respected experts. the user-friendly design and format allows rapid access to essential information and
the incorporation throughout of relevant clinical and radiographic information makes it a complete diagnostic resource
inside the reporting room.
