Description

Part of the in-depth and practical Pattern Recognition series, Practical Hepatic Pathology: A Diagnostic Approach, 3rd Edition, helps you arrive at a rapid, accurate diagnosis by using a pattern-based approach. Dr. Romil Saxena leads a team of global hepatic pathology experts who offer practical assistance in identifying all major neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the liver, guiding you from a pathological pattern through the appropriate work-up, around the pitfalls, and to the best diagnosis. Hundreds of high-quality illustrations capture key morphologic patterns for a full range of common and rare conditions and assist in the interpretation of complex diagnostic puzzles, while a unique “visual index” at the beginning of the book directs you to the exact chapter and specific page you need for in-depth diagnostic guidance.
