Fundamentals of Surgical Pathology
The first edition of this book has been very well received as a text and hands on manual by all surgical pathologists. The entire text has been updated with current new concepts, including all revised WHO classifications on all organ systems. New chapters have been added-cardiovascular, central nervous system and immunohistochemistry. The entire book is of immense help not only to all postgraduates but also to all reporting surgical pathologists within and outside the country.Key Features:Objectives of Fundamentals of Surgical Pathology • To give the reporting surgical pathologist a comprehensive knowledge of the anatomic pathology in disease, the salient microscopic features, immunohistochemistry as an aid in diagnostic pathology and essentials of delivering the format of reporting to the clinician. • To place before all surgical pathologists the practical difficulties in the reporting of lesions with the help of the author's vast experience in surgical pathology in dealing with "Hands on Bench Problems" encountered routinely. Highlights • Gross and lucid descriptions of lesions in pathology (both simple and complex). • Diagnostic and salient microscopic features essential in arriving at a diagnosis. • Details on differential diagnosis in each lesion and ability to differentiate one from the other in the gray zone areas. • Importance of immunohistochemistry as an aid in diagnosis-it is correlation in the context of morphology and not at face value of a marker being positive or negative. • Synoptic reporting and the importance of a planned format in reporting-emphasis on point-wise completion, e.g. resection margin involvement, grade and stage of tumors in reports. • Caters to common and complex routine reporting in the Indian subcontinent.
