Diagnostic Pathology: Soft Tissue Tumors

Part of the highly regarded Diagnostic Pathology series, this updated volume by Matthew Lindberg, MD, is a visually stunning, easy-to-use reference covering all aspects of soft tissue pathology. Outstanding images – including gross pathology, a wide range of stains, and detailed medical illustrations – make this an invaluable diagnostic aid for every practicing pathologist, resident, or fellow. Packed with even more high-resolution images than the previous edition – more than 2,000 images in all – it clearly depicts not only the key features of each tumor, but also the wide array of histologic variants.

"I’d strongly recommend this book to both pathology residents and seasoned diagnostic pathologists alike." Reviewed by Todd Stevens, Oct 2015
