Color Atlas of Pediatric Pathology

Pediatric pathology has been a recognized sup-specialty of pathology for almost two decades. Today pathology training programs are required to provide education in pediatric pathology. In addition to pediatric pathology specialists, many general and community-based pathologists regularly handle pediatric specimens. A working knowledge of current pediatric pathology is essential for appropriate handling of these cases. The Color Atlas of Pediatric Pathology covers the broad range of children's diseases that a pathologist will likely encounter and is edited by well-known leaders in this field. Coverage extends to surgical specimens as well as handling of placentas and autopsies.Rather than a highly detailed, academic text, the Color Atlas of Pediatric Pathology is a practical working resource.
