Book Description
This abundantly illustrated reference work focuses on the essential information needed by pathologists in order to interpret breast lesions (tumors) appropriately. Particular attention is paid to the diagnostic criteria with systematic analysis of differential diagnoses. Value and limitations of immunohistochemistry as a diagnostic adjunct are demonstrated as well. Using a systematic approach, this book contains the fundamental information required to avoid misinterpreting breast lesions and thus the under or over-treatment of patients.
