Description
There are many tomes available detailing the histopathological features of both general surgical pathology entities and organ specific
pathologies. In addition, several texts present aspects of developmental, fetal and placental pathology. However, for the specialist
paediatric pathologist with a significant paediatric surgical specimen workload, and for the practising general surgical pathologist
faced with reporting paediatric surgical specimens, although information regarding many of the specific entities affecting childhood
is available in the former texts, such information requires searching of many disjointed books. Therefore, the aim of this publication
is to present a comprehensive and detailed account, which brings together and covers all, or at least most, paediatric surgical pathological
entities in a single volume, to allow rapid access for day-to-day use by practising histopathologists.
Audience:
General surgical pathologists. Specialist paediatric surgical pathologists
