Textbook of Pathology

by Mohan Harsh
The Textbook of PATHOLOGY depicts diagnostic pathology which has been growing exponentially with advances in molecular methods, cytogenetics and immunology, besides the ready availability of immunohistochemistry. Immunophenotyping and cytogenetics have been recommended as defining criteria for classification, diagnosis and prognostication of growing number of cancers. Basic morphologic pathology including recent knowledge of etiology and pathogenesis of diseases, and simultaneously the contribution of modern diagnostic techniques are explained in detail. Most of the topics include various aspects of diseases including their newer causes and recent mechanisms by insertion of latest information between the lines. Morphologic pathology is discussed with newer illustrations, while some old ones have been replaced with better quality images or improved after eliminating their shortcomings. One or more clinical cases with history and findings of examination have been given based on a common or an important disease pertaining to the respective systems.
