Atlas Of Breast Pathology

Comprehensive coverage of both benign and malignant breast lesions in an atlas based on pattern analysis and diagnostic criteria. Clinically oriented discussion reflects changes in the field and adheres to the modern way in which biopsies are interpreted. Individual chapters encompass coverage of FNA cytology, stereotactic core needle biopsy interpretation and radiologic/pathologic correlation.

“I felt this was a useful book, both as an atlas and as a good overview of breast pathology, with a large amount of straightforward, practical information and relevant discussion.”
Dr G Harris, ACP News- Winter 2002
