Biopsy Pathology of the Oral Tissues [Hardcover]

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0412547902 | ISBN-13: 978-0412547904 | Publication Date: February 15, 1998 | Edition: 1st

This highly illustrated book is written for those general pathologists who usually see relatively small amounts of oral material and who thus lack the expertise to give authoritative diagnoses. Wherever possible histologically or clinically similar lesions are discussed together in order to facilitate the book's use as both a bench manual and a reference work. Normal appearances of the oral mucosa and tooth development, lesions of mucosa and bone, common conditions exclusive to oral tissues and those systemic conditions or lesions which, in an oral context, differ in appearance or behavior to classic textbook examples are all discussed to help in differential diagnosis. Descriptions of each lesion include clinically relevant information, which will alert readers to the possibility of misdiagnoses and the need for further clinical information before a report is submitted. Wherever appropriate, references are sourced from medical rather than oral pathology or dental journals in order to facilitate further reading in non-specialist centres. In addition, the new WHO classification of odontogenic cysts and tumors is cited, definitions of many recently described disease entities offered and recent findings in oral disease pathogenesis summarized.

This review is from: Biopsy Pathology of the Oral Tissues (Hardcover)

A brief revision of some topics of oral pathology. Of more interest for oral pathologists and some maxillofacials surgeons interested in knowing something more about oral histopathology.
