This expert volume in the Diagnostic Pathology series is an excellent point-of-care resource for practitioners at all levels of experience and training. Edited by Drs. Susan C. Lester and Beth T. Harrison, it is uniquely organized by the questions surgeons pose during intraoperative consultations, such as “Is the bronchial margin positive or negative?” or “Can this liver be used for transplantation?” among many others. This fully updated volume is the most comprehensive and targeted resource available in this time-sensitive area, covering more than 70 questions supported by tables, diagrams, radiographs, and photographs. Concisely written and easy to use, Diagnostic Pathology: Intraoperative Consultation, third edition, is a visually stunning, one-stop resource for every practicing pathologist, resident, student, or fellow as an ideal day-to-day reference or as a reliable training resource.
