Editorial Reviews:
Reviewed by Tim Stephenson, MD
Consultant Histopathologist

on behalf of The Royal College of Pathologists
January 2007
This is the fifth volume
in the Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology series and by
endocrine pathology, the authors mean a scope of
thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pituitary and
paraganglion system pathology with appendices on
anatomy, embryology and histology and intraoperative
consultation and grossing techniques.
I found the style of this volume to be consistent and
well organised. Information is clearly presented and,
for a medium-sized volume, there is a commendable level
of detail. The level of detail is suitable for genuine
diagnostic practice this is a working pathologists book
rather than a postgraduate students book.
I commend the generous level of illustrations which is
in full colour, sharp, well colour-balanced, and
genuinely illustrative of the features being described.
I found myself appreciating the fact sheets and can
imagine a diagnostic histopathologist quickly glancing
through them to refresh their mind on features, or to
look whether a condition was seriously within the
differential diagnostic being considered, or if it could
be ruled out without further reading.
I can warmly recommend purchase of this book for
departments practicing endocrine pathology at secondary
and tertiary healthcare levels. |
