Pathology of the Head and Neck cover

This book provides a comprehensive description of the pathology of the head and neck region, concentrating especially on those pathologic entities that are unique to or characteristic of the head and neck. The new edition retains the ten chapters of the first edition, all updated and improved, and additionally contains seven entirely new chapters and a more detailed subject index. The number of illustrations has been substantially increased, and various lesions absent in the original edition have been included. Throughout, attention is paid to correlation of pathology with epidemiology, clinical features, pathogenesis, and molecular genetics. Differential diagnosis is addressed, and information is also provided on staging, prognosis, and therapy. The authors include foremost experts in the field, some of whom are senior members of the Working Group on Head and Neck Pathology of the European Society of Pathology.

“This is a valuable reference for practicing pathologists as well as pathology residents, especially those looking for a comprehensive work that includes rare conditions and their differential diagnoses. … This is an excellent, systematic, and thoughtful resource on the very broad field of head and neck pathology. … The authors have done an excellent job selecting images and providing helpful figures that complement the text. This would be a valuable addition to a personal or departmental pathology library.” (Laura E. Brown, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
