Provides a practical guide to diagnosing bone marrow disease, including both hematological disease and more generalized pathological processes that may affect the bone marrow. Balancing cytological and histological assessment, and emphasizing the need for an integrated approach to diagnosis, places bone marrow diseases within the broader context of clinical and peripheral blood features. Explains what information can be wrung out of routine stains of bone marrow aspirates and of paraffin-embedded and plastic-embedded biopsy sections, as well as more specialized procedures such as immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry. Updated from the 1992 edition and augmented with more color illustrations, appendices of technical methods, and the REAL classification of lymphomas. A laboratory handbook and reference for trainees and practicing pathologists. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)From the Publisher
"This book is excellent. Haematopathology can be daunting and the study of bone marrows especially so. The authors deserve credit for producing a book that is not only easy to read and understand, but is also a compact, detailed and exhaustive guide. I would highly recommend it to trainees and consultants in haematology and histopathology alike. Each and every department that reports bone marrows should have it in their library, preferably within easy reach." (ACP News, December 2010)
“This is one of only a few references that effortlessly integrate the entire process critical for accurate bone marrow interpretation. It is a must for practicing hematopathologists.” (Doody’s,
"Trainee medical and laboratory staff in haematology and histopathology will all derive great benefit from using this publication to aid their studies. The logical approach, concise text, and abundance of illustrations make this book an important addition to any reading list used as preparation for examinations. In short, this is a seriously good book!" (The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, July 2010)
"Bone Marrow Pathology is illustrated very well and contains clear and straightforward description of the broad spectrum of bone marrow pathology. The book is of huge value for histopathologists and hematologists practicing bone marrow diagnostics." (Hematological Oncology, February 2010)
