Editorial Reviews

Review

"It may become a favorite for many because of the accessibility of its information, its concise and authoritative clinical material, and not least, because it so frequently offers good illustrations of uncommon entities that are sparsely depicted, if at all, in other books...Beautifully edited and elegantly produced...a comprehensive and excellent guide to liver-biopsy interpretation."-NEJM

"This second edition reflects both the WHO and AFIP classifications of benign and malignant tumors of the liver and biliary systems, and provides 60% more images and a new chapter on liver transplant pathology. There is expanded coverage of gross, light, and electron microscope features of the normal liver, and an updated listing of drugs and toxins associated with liver diseases" -SciTech Book News, June 2005

"In summary, the Atlas of Liver Pathology, Second Edition provides a large number of high-quality photomicrographs with accompanying clinical text. The figures present clear examples of liver histopathology while the text provides enough information to provide a clinical correlation." -- Practical Gastroenterology, January 2006
