Description

By Andrew L. Folpe MD, G. Petur Nielsen MD

Offering comprehensive yet practical coverage on diagnosis and differential diagnosis in one of the most challenging areas of surgical pathology, Enzinger and Weiss’s Soft Tissue Tumors, edited by Drs. Andrew L. Folpe and G. Petur Nielsen, continues the tradition of excellence in this fully revised 8th Edition. It provides clear guidance from cover to cover with detailed, well-written, logically organized information on the full spectrum of these complex tumors. Practicing and trainee pathologists will find complete coverage of diagnosis of tumors by microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and molecular genetics, while clinicians who most frequently see these diseases―dermatologists, orthopaedists, and oncologists―will also benefit from a considerable amount of clinically significant information of interest to their field.

Offers practical information on differential diagnosis of tumors of the skeletal muscles, connective tissue, fat, and related structures, helping you accurately diagnose and confidently sign out pathology reports on even the most challenging cases

Provides unsurpassed scope and depth in this complex area with microscopic findings correlated with the latest developments in molecular biology, cytogenetics, and immunohistochemistry, for a comprehensive and integrated approach to evaluation and diagnosis

Comprehensively restructured with numerous new chapters, including chapters on emerging entities, mesenchymal tumors specific to the gastrointestinal tract, soft tissue tumors showing epithelial and myoepithelial differentiation, and round cell sarcomas, among others

Contains abundant algorithms, tables, and graphs to facilitate rapid decision making―many new to this edition

Features nearly 2,000 high-quality images that clearly capture the clinical, macroscopic and microscopic features of benign and malignant conditions, helping you relate these characteristics to their specific classifications

Shares the knowledge and expertise of two new lead editors: Drs. Andrew L. Folpe and G. Petur Nielsen

Utilizes a logical, well-structured format including summary outlines at the beginning of each chapter, a color-coded page design, and a consistent approach to every entity, enabling you to navigate the text quickly, improve turnaround time when diagnosing a specimen, and clearly report on the prognosis and therapeutic management options
