This updated second edition provides surgical pathologists with comprehensive knowledge of anatomic pathology in disease, salient microscopic features, and immunohistochemistry as an aid in diagnostic pathology.

Highlights include:

• Gross and lucid descriptions of lesions in pathology (both simple and complex).
• Diagnostic and salient microscopic features essential in arriving at a diagnosis.
• Details on differential diagnosis in each lesion and the ability to differentiate one from the other in grey zone areas.
• The importance of immunohistochemistry as an aid in diagnosis.
• Synoptic reporting and the importance of a planned format in reporting with an emphasis on point-wise completion, e.g. resection margin involvement, grade and stage of tumours in reports.
