Separate chapters are devoted to ancillary surgical pathology techniques, including immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, frozen section diagnosis, flow cytometry, DNA and RNA based molecular methods, and imaging technologies.

'I would unreservedly recommend this book to all in surgical pathology practice: from those starting off in the discipline to senior colleagues'


'Its strength lies in its rapid-access outline, small footprint size and format with abundant diagrams and tables. This is backed up by an impressive amount of up-to-date information about disease entities and the practicalities of handling almost all pathological specimens from reception to producing a report'
