Book description
Bone Marrow Pathology
has been extensively revised to reflect the significant advances which
have occurred in the application of cytogenetics and in particular,
molecular genetics in the diagnosis, classification and understanding of
haematological disorders. This comprehensive book not only provides
information on all common disease entities, but also covers rare
disorders in which bone marrow examination is useful. It is designed as
practical resource with 'Problems and Pitfalls' sections throughout to
aid laboratory diagnosis.
This fourth edition:
- Incorporates the recommendations of the 2008 WHO Classification
of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues
- Covers key diagnostic techniques such as flow cytometric
immunophenotyping, immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic and
molecular genetic analysis
- Includes new diagnostic algorithms and summary boxes
- Contains 550 colour illustrations including high-quality digital photomicrographs
Haematologists and histopathologists will find this book an
invaluable desktop reference when performing daily blood and bone
marrow investigations.
