100 Rare Tumors of the Digestive System: A Case-Based Reference for Surgical Pathologists

100 Rare Tumors of the Digestive System: A Case-Based Reference for Surgical Pathologists provides practicing surgical pathologists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, and surgeons with a single volume that reviews the clinical and pathologic features of rarely encountered neoplasms in the digestive system. The book will use a case-based format to first bring up typical clinical settings, including clinical history, symptoms, laboratory and radiographic findings, followed by representative histologic and immunologic pictures. Multiple-choice questioning will be provided for readers to decide on the best diagnosis from a list of mimickers. This will be followed by an in-depth discussion of each specific entity, deciphering the most salient features for recognition and correct diagnosis, how to distinguish it from other entities, and recent advancement regarding tumorigenesis and molecular features. This is the perfect reference for clinicians that would like to know updated terminology, histopathologic presentation, potential pathogenesis mechanisms and treatment strategies for digestive disease entities. Scientists and researchers can also reference this book to find disease entities of interest, including pathogenesis, immunophenotype, and molecular findings.
