Editorial Reviews

Review

American Journal of Surgical Pathology, Volume 29, Issue 1 -- "The answer for the pathologist whose workspace brings the computer in close proximity to the microscope may be a textbook designed like this one. The accompanying CD-ROM holds more than 500 liver biopsy images, and would be an easy one to reach for and refer to in the course of a day's sign out. This is a usable, practical source of the information pertinent to handling most liver biopsies that we see in daily practice."-American Journal of Surgical Pathology --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars not attractive, July 6, 2005

This review is from: Biopsy Interpretation of the Liver with CDROM (Hardcover)

This book is interesting to read. However, the photos are in black and white (except for 10 plates) and their quality is really bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great intro to breast pathology, June 29, 2010

This review is from: Biopsy Interpretation of the Liver (Biopsy Interpretation Series) (Hardcover)

The new addition of this text (2009) is a great inroductory text to breast pathology. It covers everything from how to process breast specimens to invasive malignancies and everything in between. There are even chapters on breast lesions in children/adolescents and axillary lymph nodes. There are tons of full-color images, with wonderfully specific descriptions. Good enough to cover the basics for any pathology resident. The book is also light-weight and portable.
