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 paediatric pathologist with a significant paediatric surgical specimen workload, and for the practising general surgical pathologist faced with reporting paediatric 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, paediatric surgical pathological entities in a single volume, to allow rapid access for day-to-day use by practicing histopathologists.

From the back of the Book:

Diagnostic Pediatric Surgical Pathology provides you with a comprehensive and detailed guide to diagnoses of pediatric surgical specimens.

The Book brings together, within a single volume, the majority of pediatric surgical pathology entities.  It is readily accessible for diagnostic pathologists requiring rapid access to information in daily reporting while also providing sufficient detail for specialist reporting when required.
