Practical Pulmonary Pathology, 3rd Edition: A Comprehensive Guide to Accurate Diagnosis

Authored by renowned diagnosticians Kevin O. Leslie MD and Mark R. Wick MD, this book is part of the in-depth and practical Pattern Recognition series. It aims to help you accurately identify and interpret neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the lungs using a pattern-based approach.

Superb, full-color illustrations capture key pathological patterns for a full range of common and rare conditions, and a “visual index” at the beginning of the book directs you to the exact location of in-depth diagnostic guidance. A user-friendly design color-codes patterns to specific entities, and key points are summarized in tables, charts, and graphs so you can quickly and easily find what you are looking for.

This edition includes sweeping content updates that keep you at the forefront of recent findings regarding pulmonary hypertension, pediatric lung disease, and all major neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the lung. An online virtual microscope provides access to more than 150 digital slides, enhancing your diagnostic capabilities.

A new chapter on Pulmonary Function Testing for Pathologists brings you up to date with relevant aspects of these key tests. Improved pattern call-outs are now linked directly within the chapter, reinforcing the patterns for more efficient and complete understanding.

This comprehensive guide is essential for pathologists, radiologists, and pulmonologists seeking to improve their diagnostic skills and stay updated with the latest in pulmonary pathology. With its detailed illustrations, practical approach, and extensive updates, Practical Pulmonary Pathology, 3rd Edition is a valuable resource for both experienced professionals and those just starting their careers in the field.
