Provides a practical guide to diagnosing bone marrow disease, including both hematological disease and more generalized pathological processes that may affect the bone marrow. Balancing cytological and histological assessment, and emphasizing the need for an integrated approach to diagnosis, places bone marrow diseases within the broader context of clinical and peripheral blood features. Explains what information can be wrung out of routine stains of bone marrow aspirates and of paraffin-embedded and plastic-embedded biopsy sections, as well as more specialized procedures such as immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry. Updated from the 1992 edition and augmented with more color illustrations, appendices of technical methods, and the REAL classification of lymphomas. A laboratory handbook and reference for trainees and practicing pathologists. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Bone Marrow Pathology is a practical guide to the diagnosis of bone marrow disease that places abnormalities of the bone marrow within the broader context of clinical and peripheral blood features. It gives equal weight to cytological and histological assessment and emphasises an integrated approach to diagnosis.
The second edition of Bone Marrow Pathology has been expanded to give a more detailed coverage of the subject, including many more colour illustrations, with appendices of technical methods and incorporating the real classification of lymphomas.
Bone Marrow Pathology gives an integrated approach to the subject and is the product of two histopathologists and one haematologist. It will appeal to haematologists, histopathologists and trainee and practising pathologists.
