Book Description
The diagnosis of bone-marrow disorders by examining sections taken by aspiration or trephine biopsies is essentially a qualitative process requiring the pathologist to identify the abnormal structure and cellularity of bone marrow cells. Until now, the quality of published images in bone-marrow histopathology had been extremely variable–often with the crucial ‘message’ obscured by poor photography, poor reproduction, or both.The digitally photographed and remastered images in An Illustrated Guide to Bone Marrow Diagnosis are of the highest quality. These images have been copied directly from the microscope in digital format and reproduced in print form. Ideal for the trainee, the text offers comparisons of the common methods of sample collection, fixation and staining, together with a clear description of how to examine a trephine section.Disorders of bone marrow, clinical features, histopathology of bone marrow, and diagnostic problems of each condition are discussed. Chapters end with a summary of key points. The consistent approach in describing each condition makes this text a valuable and handy reference tool for the trained histopathologist.

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The text is succinct and concentrates on the core information necessary to make an accurate diagnosis. High quality images accompany each diagnostic entity and portray typical and more unusual examples of histological features. Most conditions are illustrated by both H&E and Giemsa training. Considerable emphasis is also given to the appropriate use of immunocytochemistry in diagnosis. Great care has been taken to ensure that wherever possible pictures and accompanying text are on the same open pages.
