Pathology of Childhood and Adolescence: An Illustrated Guide

This book covers the full range of pathologic conditions encountered  during childhood and youth, including tumors and tumor-like conditions  of all organ systems, with direct links to developmental biology  pathways and genetics. It provides a user-friendly road map to the main  diagnostic criteria and combines an organ-related approach with an  explanation of the diagnostic approaches to various specific diseases  and syndromes, including sequential segmental analysis of congenital  heart disease. More than 500 new full-color macro- and microphotographs  using more than 500 multi-photographic panels are included to provide a  realistic basis for comparison macroscopically and under the lens, and  summarizing tables highlight key information in the concise form  required for at-a-glance review. Pathologists will find the book very  helpful when signing out complex and challenging cases, and it will also  prove invaluable for exam preparation and continuing medical education.
