Editorial Reviews

Review

"One of the amazing things about this book is that it is able to present this material in succinct format without appearing to omit any necessary detail. It almost makes this subject seem easy...The pictures are terrific and in full color, the tables are useful, and the other lesions that are in the differential for any entity are all in the same chapter and easily cross referenced. This clearly is a textbook that was meant to be used...The strength of this book is that it is different than the other textbooks available on this subject. It is clearly the best textbook on the cytology of bone and soft tissue tumors." Advances in Anatomic Pathology

"I wholeheartedly recommend it." The Journal of Histotechnology

"Its uniqueness stems from the fact that this book gives a quick and practical overview of dieases affecting the locomotor system in an extreme user-friendly fashion. A book of similar attributes is hard to find.
The text is written in 393 pages with over 1,250 illustrations including 1,104 full-color images. These illustrations are not only of suberb quality and clarity, but also highly educational. Many remarkable tables and summary boxes complement the text and illustrations.
This textbook provides a comprehensive and quick practical guide to understanding modern cytologic and histologic diagnosis of musculoskeletal surgical pathology. This book is useful to all treating clinicians, practicing pathologists, residents, cytotechnologists, and physician assistants with interest in this field of Pathology. It is one of a kind and should be placed close and handy in our reference bookshelf." Wiley InterScience, 2005
