Ranchod:
Intraoperative Consultation in Surgical Pathology
By
Mahendra Ranchod
2011 (1st
ed), 356 pages, $137 list
Although
frozen section diagnosis has been an integral part of surgical pathology for
decades, this is the first textbook that offers a comprehensive
clinicopathologic approach to the challenges of intraoperative consultation.
Intraoperative diagnosis is challenging because of time constraints, sampling
limitations, and the inability to perform a wide range of ancillary tests.
Intraoperative Consultation in Surgical Pathology emphasizes the importance of
clinical information, highlights the value of close collaboration with
surgeons, and provides clear guidelines for the best way to examine specimens
intraoperatively. Pathologists are then able to minimize error and diagnose
with greater confidence. Most chapters in this book are co-authored by surgeons
to ensure that their interests are represented. Essential reading for
practising surgical pathologists, residents and fellows in pathology, this book
will also be of value to fellows and surgeons in various surgical specialties
who request intraoperative consultation.

perspective of pathologists-in-training. The focus is not organ-based
histologic criteria, but rather everything else that goes into pathologic
diagnoses but is difficult to keep committed to memory. The emphasis is on
immunohistochemistry, special stains, grading systems, molecular markers, tumor
syndromes, and helpful clinical references. Also included are morphologic
summaries that encompass high-yield material cutting across all organ systems,
such as an illustrated guide for microorganisms, tumor differentials, and an
illustrated glossary.

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.
