Overview
This is a comprehensive text and atlas of lymph node pathology, providing extensive illustrative examples of characteristic diagnostic findings in the lymph node, including both benign and malignant conditions. All major disorders are discussed, including up to date information on HIV infection and AIDS. Although an emphasis has been placed on interpretation of the routinely stained hematoxylin and eosin stained section, consideration has been given to the important immunologic and molecular biologic advances which have revolutionized hematopathology. The author has integrated classic approaches to biopsy interpretation, including histopathology and clinical features, with newer immunophenotypic and molecular biologic techniques. The Revised European-American Lymphoma (REAL) classification for lymphoid neoplasms, which is coming into increasingly wide clinical use, is utilized in the discussion of the malignant lymphomas. Because many pathologists and clinicians continue to use the Working Formulation in day to day practice, the equivalent terms in that classification are also provided.

Reviews
...this book is...a valuable addition to the literature. The ease of readability combined with the excellent photomicrographs makes it most useful on the workbench when one considers some of the diagnostic entities that may involve nodal tissue. --Doody's Journal I highly recommend this introductory text to general pathologists, pathologists-in-training, and fellows in hematopahtology and hematology-oncology. --Gretchen S. Crary, MD, The American Journal of Clinical Pathology ...this book is undoubtedly the best I have had the pleasure to read....the appropriateness and quality of the color illustrations....[and] the differential diagnosis sections which tell you what to look for in the H&E sections, how immunohistochemistry can help you make the distinction between similar entities....are just what practising pathologists need and why I can see myself referring to this as a bench book for many years to come. --Dr. Jonathan Salisbury, The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists ....There have been a number of notable books on lymph node pathology in the past but this book is undoubtedly the best I have had the pleasure to read.It is written as an introduction and guide to the interpretation of the lymph node biopsy for pathologists,pathologists-in-trainingand fellows in haematological pathology,and it is comprehensive in its scope.
There have been a number of notable books on lymph node pathology in the past but this book is undoubtedly the best I have had the pleasure to read.....I have tried to decide why I think this is such a good book and, in the end, I think it comes down to two things. Firstly, the appropriateness and quality of the colour illustrations which I could not fault. Secondly, the differential diagnosis sections which tell you what to look for in the H&E sections, how immunohistochemistry can help you make the distinction between similar entities....are just what practising pathologists need and why I can see myself referring to this as a bench book for many years to come Dr Jonathan Salisbury, The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, No 106, April 1999
