Review

From the reviews of the second edition: "This book deals primarily with pathologic conditions involving the esophagus, it also provides a good background in normal anatomy and histology. … written for clinicians, pathologists, and basic science researchers. … It is a good source of gross photos, endoscopic images, and microphotographs … . These images deserve to be revisited … by practicing pathologists, gastroenterologists, and surgeons who deal with esophageal diseases. … Every pathology department that deals with a large volume of esophageal diseases should have this book as a reference."
