This expert volume in the Diagnostic Pathology series is an excellent point-of-care resource for practitioners at all levels of experience and training. Covering a broad array of entities pathologists are most likely to encounter when diagnosing and treating head and neck disorders, it incorporates the most recent clinical, pathological, and molecular knowledge in the field to provide a comprehensive overview of all key issues relevant to today’s practice. Succinctly written, richly illustrated, and easy to use, Diagnostic Pathology: Head and Neck, fourth edition, is a one-stop reference for accurate, complete pathology reports, ideal as a day-to-day reference or as a reliable training resource.
    • Includes the diagnostic criteria, pertinent ancillary studies, and thorough, reciprocal differential diagnoses necessary for general pathologists, oral pathologists, and head and neck pathologists to make accurate diagnoses in this difficult field
    • Reflects recent developments in ancillary studies and molecular testing that are useful in reaching a diagnosis
    • Uses a newly streamlined layout for ease and speed of use at the point of care, employing a practical, intuitive structure that organizes sections and chapters by anatomic region and frequency of diagnosis as seen in actual practice
    • Contains 370 consistently templated, image-rich chapters in a format that facilitates quick comparison between diagnoses with concise, bulleted text; Key Facts in each chapter; and an extensive index for easy reference
    • Includes commentary to aid in definitive classification when molecular findings are required for a diagnosis
    • Features 3,300+ high-quality print images (with an additional 2,900+ images in the complimentary eBook), including gross pathology and clinical photographs, radiological images, histology images, full-color medical illustrations, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and molecular images—all carefully annotated to help you quickly recognize established entities
    • Contains significantly updated information on the standardization of neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) reporting, and criteria required for risk stratification
    • Covers newly classified entities from the 2024 WHO Classification of Head and Neck Tumours along with other national standardized reporting guidelines
    • Includes an eBook version that enables you to access all text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud; additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
