Overview

During the 10 years since the last edition of Histopathology of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas, based on the updated Kiel classification, our knowledge on malignant lymphomas, especially on extranodal lymphomas, has increased. This volume - Histopathology of Nodal and Extranodal Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas - is an expanded and completely revised edition, now based on the WHO classification. The parallels to the updated Kiel classification and the REAL classification are indicated. The information is organized in organ-specific chapters, comprising the well-known nodal lymphoma entities as well as all known extranodal lymphomas and the different organ-specific clinico-pathological entities: lymphomas of the spleen, the gastrointestinal tract, the skin, etc. In addition to the morphology, the major immunohistochemical, molecular genetic, and clinical data are included in each chapter.

Reviews

From the reviews: Dr. Alfred Feller and Dr. Jacques Diebold have presented us with succinct descriptions and high quality Giemsa-stained photomicrographs ... . Their most valuable contribution, however, is their discussion of unresolved problems of classification ... . The authors also bring attention to significant unresolved problems in the WHO classification, including thought-provoking discussions of ... . are to be congratulated for a job well done and for a most enjoyable and personal approach to the complex problems of lymphomas. (Maurice P. Barcos, Oncology Intl. J. Cancer Research and Treatment, Vol. 67(5-6), 2004) Feller and Diebold's book is not only based on the WHO classification of lymphoma, but also mirrors its presentation ... . then follows something really good: a section specifically addressing, and indeed called, differential diagnosis. ... Another good feature of this book is its inclusion of organ-specific sections, for example, lymphoma of the lung ... . I liked this book. It is not simply a catalogue of lymphomatoid diseases. I think it will be practically useful. (Dr. D. Wright, ACP News, 2005)
