Description
The New Edition of this popular text features world-renowned experts
who offer the most current information and reliable guidance on
immunohistochemical diagnoses in surgical pathology and
cytopathology. The book is organized in a consistent format of organ
systems, specifically designed to target diagnostic dilemmas in
surgical pathology. Each chapter features an introduction and a
systematic approach to the diagnostic entities of that organ system.
Readers will also find easy-to-understand diagnostic algorithms and
¡°immunohistograms¡± that depict immunostaining patterns of tumors,
as well as charts, tables, and high-quality color histologic images
that assist in making a definitive diagnosis.

*Consistently organized chapters offer an introduction to the
subject • a discussion of the biology of the relevant antigens and
antibodies • a literature review • and numerous diagnostic
algorithms and immunohistograms.
*Provides all the information readers need on a specific topic and
