There are many tomes available detailing the histopathological features of both general surgical pathology entities and organ specific pathologies. In addition, several texts present aspects of developmental, fetal and placental pathology. However, for the specialist paediatric pathologist with a significant paediatric surgical specimen workload, and for the practising general surgical pathologist faced with reporting paediatric surgical specimens, although information regarding many of the specific entities affecting childhood is available in the former texts, such information requires searching of many disjointed books. Therefore, the aim of this publication is to present a comprehensive and detailed account, which brings together and covers all, or at least most, paediatric surgical pathological entities in a single volume, to allow rapid access for day-to-day use by practising histopathologists. The focus is on practical diagnostic issues throughout. Concentrates on the diagnostic and management issues that are relevant to the surgical pathologist when signing out a report: ie variant histopathological appearances, what the surgeon needs to know about grading. Comprehensive coverage of all entities that occur in children and adolescents.Provides the general surgical pathologist more used to interpreting adult specimens with a complete guide to all of the histopathologic differences in appearance compared to similar diseases in adults. Superb, high quality full color illustrations of key aspects of various diseases (histopathologic, molecular and clinical features) throughout.Provides a complete visual guide to paediatric neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions will allow rapid identification of tumor or tumor-like lesions. Includes the latest techniques in immunohistochemistry and molecular genetics in an integrated manner.Provides comprehensive information on all of the investigative contexts relevant to formulating an accurate. diagnosis. Information organized simply and consistently throughout in bullet point format.Helps the users find what they’re looking for quickly and easily. Extensive use of tables to list all of the possible differential diagnosis of each tumor and tumor-like entity. User-friendly summary of key points to be considered in problem areas presented in a way that makes it ideal for a busy surgical pathologist.

This book focuses on Pediatric Head and Neck Surgical Diseases and Pediatric Surgical Pathology. The core objective is to provide the reader the essential background of various head and neck diseases that are common and/or unique to children by highlighting the key diagnostic, clinical, and pathologic features. It encompasses a comprehensive spectrum of pediatric head and neck diseases that are congenital or acquired. Many chapters describe the clinical and radiologic presentation, age-specific differential diagnosis, and diagnostic histopathologic features. The clinical and pathologic aspects of diseases that are unique to children and young adults that are amenable to surgical care are specifically emphasized. Pediatric Head and Neck Textbook: Pathology, Surgery and Imaging is aimed at trainees and specialists in Pediatrics, Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, General and Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric Radiology and Pediatric Pathology.

Completely updated, the Fourth Edition of this standard-setting two-volume reference presents the most advanced diagnostic techniques and the latest information on all currently known disease entities. More than 90 preeminent surgical pathologists offer expert advice on the diagnostic evaluation of every type of specimen from every anatomic site. The Fourth Edition contains 3,494 full-color photographs, of which over 1,100 are new. This edition has three distinguished new editors—Joel K. Greenson, MD, Victor E. Reuter, MD, and Mark H. Stoler, MD—and many new contributors. Updates include new immunohistochemical markers for lymphoid neoplasms, current nomenclature for lymphoid tumors, and state-of-the-art molecular genetic tests. A bound-in CD-ROM contains all the images from the book, downloadable to PowerPoint presentations.

Essentials of Surgical Pediatric Pathology is a clear and practical yet comprehensive guide for trainee pediatric pathologists and non-pediatric pathologists. Each chapter corresponds to one of the main subspecialties, such as dermatopathology, head and neck pathology, and system pathology. Practical guidance is given on handling pediatric specimens and the authors highlight the ways in which common conditions present differently in adults and children. Other chapters cover conditions typical of childhood, including soft tissue tumors and blue round cell tumors. The chapters begin with a brief clinical presentation, followed by a clear macroscopical and histological description of the principal pathologies seen in children. Up-to-date genetic and immunohistochemical information is provided, and the book includes hundreds of high-quality color images. Written and edited by leading international experts in the field, this is an essential resource for trainee pediatric pathologists, as well as general pathologists who may encounter pediatric cases.

This book serves as a quick study guide during the stages of examination preparation for the pediatric pathology boards. The material covers most of the major topics in pediatric pathology including the fetal, perinatal, infant, child, and organ system pathology. It includes a short quiz containing 115 questions with photomicrographs for each, and an answer key inserted at the end of the book.

A scientifically rigorous, multidisciplinary approach to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, for practitioners, researchers and families alike.
