5.0 out of 5 stars
The best soft tissue resource for pathologists,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Enzinger and Weiss's Soft Tissue Tumors (Hardcover)
This is "the" source for soft tissue tumors for residents and staff alike. The descriptions are concise, and the organization of chapters is good. This book is well-written and never dry (well...it's as un-dry as a medical textbook on tumors can be). This is an outstanding source for soft tissue neoplasms. I recommend this book highly. I read certain parts of it for my Pathology boards, which I passed, and give partial credit to this book for my success. This book is really good. However, if you're on a budget, you should definitely consider the WHO Soft Tissue book. It's got the same material but is a LOT cheaper. You will not miss out on anything if you get the WHO book. At some point, though, when your budget loosens up, you need to get this book.

Essential Textbook in this field,
By A Customer
This review is from: Enzinger and Weiss's Soft Tissue Tumors (Hardcover)
This is an essential textbook in the field of soft tissue tumors/sarcoma. I am a dermatologist and have bought them whenever this title has been revised. You can confirm the quality of this title by putting on bookshelf in all medical schools in Japan. (I haven't visiting libraries abroad, but I must be able to see it.) I recommend it not only dermatologist but also orthopedists and pathologists in the world!

Fantastic resource for soft tissue pathology for residents,
This review is from: Enzinger and Weiss's Soft Tissue Tumors (Hardcover)
This book is very well-organized and the index is great. Although the size of the book is somewhat daunting - the quality of the photos and the many examples shown for each entity is phenomenal. In my mind, this book is really a soft tissue atlas with abundant text. The text is concise, but thorough and doesn't put you to sleep. I like this book better than the WHO book simply because each entity has numerous examples showing the various permutations and the pictures are color and half-page in size. Shop around, I found this book brand new for nearly half the price!
