The fifth edition contains over 4,400 full-color photographs. This edition provides detailed coverage of the latest developments in the field, including new molecular and immunohistochemical markers for diagnosis and prognosis of neoplasia, improved classification systems for diagnosis and prognosis, the role of pathology in new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, and the recognition of new entities or variants of entities. Where appropriate updated World Health Organization (WHO) terminology has been employed for tumor diagnosis. A few of the many specific changes include an update on the serrated adenoma and serrated carcinoma pathway; virtually new chapters on salivary gland, larynx, blood vessels, heart, non-melanocytic skin tumors, and placenta; complete updates of the lymph node and bone marrow chapters incorporating the new WHO terminology; and, an expanded discussion of the molecular biology of thyroid neoplasia.

Review:

American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 01-FEB-00, Volume 24, Issue 2, John R. Goldblum, MD -- Praise for the previous edition: "I found the third edition of Diagnostic Surgical Pathology to be a significant update and improvement over the second edition (which itself was excellent...). The differences in text and photomicrographs certainly warrant a place on any surgical pathologist's bookshelf, even for those with the second edition."-American Journal of Surgical Pathology
