By Mirko D'Onofrio, Paola Capelli, Paola Pederzoli, Claudio Bassi and Alec Megibow
2015, 432 pages, 327 illus, $104 list
Although interest in pancreatic pathology is very high in the radiological and gastroenterological communities, it is still the case that less is known about pathology of the pancreas than about liver pathology, for example.
