Comprehensively updated with new information on bone marrow pathology – incorporating new advances in the diagnosis,
classification and understanding of haematological disorders
This fifth edition has been extensively revised and expanded to reflect the significant advances that have occurred in the
application of cytogenetics and, in particular, molecular genetics in the diagnosis, classification and understanding of
haematological disorders. It not only provides information on all common disease entities but also covers rare disorders in
which bone marrow examination is useful. Designed as a practical resource for clinical use, it features 'Problems and Pitfalls'
sections throughout to aid diagnosis.
Bone Marrow Pathology, 5th Edition is comprised of chapters covering: normal bone marrow; special techniques applicable to
bone marrow diagnosis; infection and reactive changes; acute myeloid leukaemia, mixed phenotype acute leukaemia,
myelodysplastic syndromes and histiocytic neoplasms; myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms and
related conditions; lymphoproliferative disorders; plasma cell neoplasms; disorders of erythropoiesis, granulopoiesis and
thrombopoiesis; miscellaneous disorders; metastatic and non-haemopoietic tumours; and diseases of bone.
and molecular genetic analysis
Practical and highly applicable, Bone Marrow Pathology, 5th Edition is an essential resource for haematologists,
haemato- oncologists, haematopathologists and pathologists, plus trainees and laboratory scientists in these disciplines.
