Doody's Star Rating®

See the excerpt below of an expert review from Doody's Review Service
"The new edition has retained all the attractive features of the previous editions that have made this book so popular with surgical pathologists. It is hard to find another book in which so much knowledge and personal hands-on experience of so many leading pathologists has been so succinctly presented."
