'This book will be welcomed by many a diagnostic pathologist and hailed for its excellent pictures, no-nonsense practical approach, and its first-class integration of classic pathology with the data obtained by modern ancillary diagnostic techniques. The book deserves to be included in all hospital and departmental pathology libraries. It will be used as a textbook and reference by senior and junior pathologists and clinical specialists dealing with soft-tissue tumors and related lesions. Weighted Numerical Score: 100 - 5 Stars!'

Ivan Damjanov MD, Doody's Reviews This book on soft tissue pathology deals with neoplasms and non-neoplastic conditions, covering essentially all major and minor entities, providing data on their histologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular biology features. The book has undergone major revision and expansion and bears very little resemblance to its predecessor edition, which was published under the imprint of another publisher.... This is an important contribution to the ever expanding literature on soft tissue pathology, written by one of the major gurus in the field....This is an important contribution to the ever expanding literature on soft tissue pathology, written by one of the major gurus in the field, ... will be welcomed by many a diagnostic pathologist and hailed for its excellent pictures, no-nonsense practical approach, and its first-class integration of classic pathology with the data obtained by modern ancillary diagnostic techniques.
