This volume in the Pattern Recognition Series helps you to efficiently and confidently evaluate even the most challenging histologic specimens.

Key Features

Compare your specimens to commonly seen patterns, categorize them accordingly, and turn directly to in-depth diagnostic guidance using the unique, pattern-based Visual Index at the beginning of the book.
Assess key pathologic and clinical aspects of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions with over 750 high-quality, full-color images that help you evaluate and interpret biopsy samples.
Benefit from expert guidance in key areas such as renal biopsy interpretation, handling of nephrectomy specimens, pathology relevant to renal transplantation, and pathology of unusual renal neoplasms.
Progress logically from the histologic pattern, through the appropriate workup, around the pitfalls, to the best diagnosis.
