Reviews

This atlas is intended to serve neuropathologists and pathology residents in training. It is also a valuable resource for clinicians in the neurosciences, especially pediatric neurologists, neurosurgeons, and oncologists. ... This is an all-inclusive guide to the pathology of pediatric brain tumors. It consolidates a wealth of new genetic information on pediatric brain tumors, and provides large, high quality illustrations of the histology of common and rare variants.
