This extensive reference covering neoplastic hematopathology includes over 500 colour illustrations depicting hematopoietic tumors involving lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, and commonly affected extranodal organs, with special emphasis on the differential diagnosis. It discusses basic clinical, prognostic, morphologic and phenotypic data, with numerous tables summarizing the phenotypic profiles of the most common hematologic tumors. A major feature of this book is an approach to hematologic tumors based on the WHO classification, with relevant examples and emphasis on the most useful morphologic and immunophenotypic features used in diagnosis. It will be an invaluable reference for all practising hematologists, oncologists and pathologists.

Management of tumor patients now relies on new individualized approaches to treatment, requiring extensive knowledge of the molecular makeup of tumors.

This Atlas is an essential guide to both the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of neoplastic hematopathologies, based on specific parameters. It will be an invaluable reference for all practicing hematologists, oncologists and pathologists.Atlas of Differential Diagnosis in Neoplastic Hematopathology, Second Edition discusses:basic clinical data

Management of tumor patients now relies on new individualized approaches to treatment, requiring extensive knowledge of the molecular makeup of tumors. Updated and expanded, the third edition of Atlas of Differential Diagnosis in Neoplastic Hematopathology examines not only the differential diagnosis but also the detailed morphologic, immunophenotypic, and especially genetic characteristics of the majority of hematolymphoid malignancies. Featuring a new structure and including new chapters, the third edition updates all content and presents considerable expansion on many topics, including: Metaphase cytogenetic and FISH Flow cytometry (overview and detailed analysis of specific tumors) Acute myeloid leukemia and new classification schemes MDS, AML, and B- and T-cell lymphoproliferations Abnormal patterns in the lymph node and bone marrow with detail differential diagnosis based on histologic features and cellular composition Detailed differential diagnosis based on the expression of broad list of antigenic markers (flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry) Extranodal lymphomas Diagnosis of MDS and myeloproliferative neoplasm and their differential diagnosis based on the morphologic, flow cytometric, and chromosomal features The book also provides expanded differential diagnosis of the most common as well as most difficult and rare entities, including morphologic, immunophenotypic, and karyotypic/molecular features. This edition includes updated algorithms for most common diagnoses as well as several new algorithms. The majority of figures have been revised and are in full color.

Dunphy (pathology and laboratory medicine, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) helps practicing pathologists, hematopathologists, oncologists, internists, and trainees understand the characteristic morphologic, immunophenotypic, and cytogenic/molecular features of the hematolymphoid neoplasms listed in the current World Health Organization Classification of hematolymphoid neoplasms and arrive at definitive diagnoses. In 13 chapters, hematopathologists and pathologists from the US discuss various hematolymphoid neoplasms, rather than focusing on individual neoplasms in detail, and present summary tables and illustrations to show key pathologic and differential features. They include information on definitions, morphologic features, special stains, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry techniques, differential diagnosis, diagnostic features, and special issues for normal findings; myeloproliferative neoplasms; neoplasms associated with eosinophilia and abnormalities of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, or FGFR1; myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasms; acute myeloid leukemia and related precursor neoplasms; precursor lymphoid neoplasms; mature B-cell neoplasms; mature T-cell and natural killer cell neoplasms; Hodgkin's lymphoma; histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasms; and immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders.
