Sebire: Diagnostic Pediatric Surgical Pathology
By Neil Sebire
2009 (1st ed), 848 pages, 1557 illus, $289 list
There are many tomes available detailing the histopathological
features of both general surgical pathology entities and organ specific
pathologies. In addition, several texts present aspects of developmental, fetal
and placental pathology. However, for the specialist pediatric pathologist with
a significant pediatric surgical specimen workload, and for the practicing
general surgical pathologist faced with reporting pediatric surgical specimens,
although information regarding many of the specific entities affecting
childhood is available in the former texts, such information requires searching
of many disjointed books. Therefore, the aim of this publication is to present
a comprehensive and detailed account, which brings together and covers all, or
at least most, pediatric surgical pathological entities in a single volume, to
allow rapid access for day-to-day use by practicing histopathologists.
