Diagnostic Pathology: Intraoperative Consultation

Part of the highly regarded Diagnostic Pathology series, this updated volume by Dr. Susan Lester is uniquely organized according to the specific questions from surgeons that a pathologist needs to address during time-limited intraoperative consultations. Concise, focused chapters, supported by tables, diagrams, radiographs, and photographs, provide the essential information needed for optimal intraoperative diagnosis. A new feature of the 2^nd edition is video instruction for frozen-section techniques.

• Separate chapters cover more than 60 questions posed by surgeons during intraoperative consultations, in addition to general introductory and methods chapters


• More than 1,700 outstanding images
• Time-saving reference features include bulleted text, tables of diagnostic criteria, annotated images, and an extensive index

• Thoroughly updated content in every chapter includes new criteria for diagnosis (e.g., limiting surgery for some types of lung lesions), more information on gross evaluation of specimens, and additional photographs for many diagnoses


• New chapters include new techniques, such as image-guided lung resections, finding and safely handling radioactive seeds for breast biopsies, tissue banking techniques, nipple margin evaluation for nipple-sparing mastectomy, and evaluation of specimens from patients with epilepsy


• Expert Consult(TM) eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience allows you to search all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices
