Human Genetic Disorders

Abstract

The past decade has witnessed remarkable progress in surgical pathology. The ability of contem- porary surgical pathologists to reach a definite diagnosis has been greatly enhanced by innovative immunohistochemical techniques and markers. Information useful in the practice of pathology may not be readily accessible in the daily sign-out. An up-to-date handbook that contains information relevant to the establishment of accurate diagnoses would be of immense practical value. Therefore, we have concentrated on setting forth basic diagnostic criteria and differential diagnoses that will help our readers ensure accurate diagnoses. Essentials of Anatomic Pathology is intended to provide a concise review of anatomic pathology for all pathologists in training as well as practicing pathologists, integrating the many recent advances in diagnostic surgical pathology. The book is organized to allow easy reference for daily practice, and is intended to aid residents who are preparing for Anatomic Pathology Boards and in-service examinations. It will prove a useful resource not only for medical students, but also for anyone interested in pathology. Part
