Part of the new Pattern-Based Approach series, designed to teach pathology in a way that reflects actual sign-out, this new visually-oriented guidebook presents real-life cases and practical diagnostic tips. Disease processes are organized into ‘patterns’ of injury—the method by which pathologists approach their work—and self-assessment quizzes are provided for each chapter to give you experience with high-yield, board-style teaching topics.

The liver is a complex organ due to its unique microscopic structure, intricate metabolic functions and susceptibility to a wide variety of insults, manifesting in countless histological patterns. Atlas of Liver Pathology considers both changes seen in medical liver biopsies as well as lesional biopsies when the specimen has been taken from a mass. The book starts by reviewing normal structure and its variants and the optimal approaches for the preparation of histological sections for diagnostic liver pathology. The following chapters are dedicated to developmental, metabolic, infectious, drug related, autoimmune, biliary, vascular and neoplastic disorders. Two sections on liver pathology in pregnancy and transplantation conclude the work. Macroscopic illustrations are included where appropriate. All photographs are complemented by legends describing the picture and providing relevant related information. Authored by nationally and internationally recognized pathologists, Atlas of Liver Pathology is a valuable resource that serves as a quick reference guide for the diagnosis of usual and unusual diseases.

Liver Pathology: An Atlas and Concise Guide provides pathologists, hepatologists, gastroenterologists, residents and fellows in their respective fields with an up-to-date guide to the differential diagnosis, interpretation and diagnosis of liver specimens. The book guides the reader to understand common histologic patterns and key pathologic features of the more common liver disorders. Liver Pathology: An Atlas and Concise Guide contains over 600 high-quality color images demonstrating the histopathologic and immunohistichemical findings supported by concise text including frequently associated clinical findings, pathologic features (histology, immunohistochemistry, molecular studies), differential diagnoses, and key references. Liver Pathology: An Atlas and Concise Guide provides the "fundamentals" of liver pathology in a straightforward, problem-oriented presentation of key points and typical differentials based on what you are likely to see. Liver Pathology: An Atlas and Concise Guide includes Focus on classic features that every pathologist is likely to see Differential diagnoses presented in tables for efficient overview Hundreds of high quality images selected to demonstrate key pathologic features and emphasize differential diagnosis Selected references and review articles to lead the reader to further investigation when needed
