Modern soft tissue pathology

This book comprehensively covers modern soft tissue pathology and includes both tumors and non-neoplastic entities. Soft tissues make up a large part of the human body, and they are susceptible to a wide range of diseases. Many soft tissue tumors are biologically aggressive with metastatic capability. In recent years, the outlook for soft tissue cancers has brightened dramatically owing to the increased accuracy of the pathologist’s tools and new treatments. All methods of pathologic diagnosis are covered here, with an emphasis on histology, immunohistochemical, cytogenetic, and molecular genetic tests. This book’s systematic description of benign and malignant primary soft tissue tumors, with didactic, comprehensive panels of illustrations, allows the reader to formulate a complete understanding of the morphology of tumor entities at one glance. The book covers both the most common tumor entities and more unusual diseases, using more than 1,500 color images, making it a valuable resource for beginning and senior pathologists.
