Atlas of Lung Pathology offers a comprehensive survey of common and uncommon conditions likely to be encountered in a wide range of practices. It begins with a review of normal macroscopic and microscopic lung anatomy followed by practical tips on how to handle the most common specimens received in pathology practice. Non-neoplastic conditions are segregated into logical categories intended to make them easily accessible to quickly offer solutions for diagnostic problems encountered in daily practice. Each illustration was carefully chosen using images drawn from experienced contributors familiar with the challenges of diagnostic pulmonary pathology.

Report
"This book will be of use to individuals at all levels of experience in anatomic pathology, including pathology residents and practicing surgical pathologists. It is also accessible enough for medical students interested in exploring examples of lung histopathology in further detail. ... This book is highly recommended for all practicing pathologists and residents who encounter lung specimens in their practice. Medical school libraries would also benefit from having this book to supplement their other surgical pathology books." (William R Perry, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 25, 2019)
