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.
