Overview

Diagnostic Pathology of the Intestinal Mucosa - An Atlas and Review of Biopsy Interpretation offers a comprehensive overview of intestinal mucosal structure as defined through peroral or endoscopic biopsy specimens obtained in normal and disease states. It describes small intestinal biopsy pathology in conjunction with morphologic, functional, and pathophysiologic correlations. Routine methods of processing tissues for light microscopy, electron microscopy, histochemistry, and light- and electron- microscopic-immunoperoxidase techniques are presented so that the novice in the area of intestinal structure may have an easily accessible reference for setting up a morphologic laboratory.
