This highly illustrated, diagnostic guidebook provides a single
comprehensive source of essential information to enable
non-specialists to diagnose lymph node and related diseases with
confidence. The text is didactic and practical, covering reactive
as well as malignant conditions. Diagnosis of
Lymphoproliferative Diseases approaches the disorders based on
the WHO classification and is edited by members of the WHO panel
for the classification of lymphomas.
This second edition contains over 1000 high quality, digitised
colour images and tables of essential criteria for each diagnosis.
New features include:
* Full discussion of immunostaining, the core of modern
diagnosis
* Variant forms and technical issues
This authoritative guide is an essential reference for
haematologists, haematopathologists, general pathologists,
diagnostic histopathologists and oncologists.
