5.0 out of 5 stars The best soft tissue resource for pathologists, July 13, 2001

By	B. DeMoss (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Textbook in this field, March 13, 2002

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book in surgical pathology, May 2, 2006

By	A. F. SHERIF "Mahmoud Farouk M. Sherif" (Egypt) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Enzinger and Weiss's Soft Tissue Tumors (Hardcover)

This book, although apparently volimnous, represents the first book to be read as the first step on the journey of surgical pathology. It does illustrate some important issue with regard the basic facts within the surgical pathology realm. The reader will find that the majority of this book is in the form of excellent illustrating photographs (as must be in all surgical pathology textbooks) to the extent you will be somehow familiar with these tumors. The differential diagnosis section at each entity makes the reader to feel exactly as if in soft tissue pathology seminar. You will get more experience in examining any case even outside the field of soft tissue taking into account the patient age, tumor location, tumor edge, the histopathologic clues, and of course interpretation of immunohistochemical results. You will learn more about the value of electron microscopy with great ease even if you don't care about it.
