Enzinger and Weiss's Soft Tissue Tumors: Expert Consult: Online and Print 6e

Enzinger and Weiss's Soft Tissue Tumors is your essential medical reference on the diagnosis of tumors of the skeletal
muscles, connective tissue, fat, and related structures. No other source matches Enzinger and Weiss's scope and depth
of coverage in this complex and challenging area of surgical pathology, and no other text contains as much practical
information on differential diagnosis. Microscopic findings are correlated with the latest developments in molecular
biology, cytogenetics, and immunohistochemistry, providing you with a comprehensive and integrated approach to the
evaluation of soft tissue specimens.

* Compare what you see under the microscope to nearly 2,000 superb images that capture the appearance of a complete
range of pathological entities and help you relate their characteristics to their specific classifications.
* Apply the latest knowledge on FNA biopsy, molecular biology, and cytogenetics.
* Make rapid and effective decisions with the aid of extensive algorithms, and access information at a glance with
abundant tables and graphs.
* Take advantage of all of the essential clinical and prognostic data on soft tissue tumors that are necessary to
formulate complete sign-out reports.
* Navigate through the book quickly thanks to summary outlines at the beginning of each chapter, a color-coded page
design, and a consistent approach to every entity.
Apply the latest advances in surgical pathology thanks to major updates on recently identified pathological entities
such as soft tissue angiofibroma and CIC-related sarcomas; coverage of the newest molecular diagnostic techniques and
immunohistochemical and molecular genetic features of soft tissue tumors; new chapters on GIST and soft tissue tumors
showing melanocytic differentiation; and more.
Effortlessly find the information you need with a chapter organization based on the newest surgical pathology concepts
and classifications of soft tissue tumors.
