Campbell, Verbeke Pathology of the Pancreas

• Diagrammatic representations of specimen dissection to help the reader to orientate a pancreas specimen, provide a meaningful macroscopic description and sample the specimen appropriately, enabling the reader to then provide the necessary microscopic report 
• Fact sheets and pathological features in tabular form to help the reader rapidly find the required information for diagnosis and differential diagnosis 
• Multiple (often composite) illustrations, including macroscopic and microscopic images to provide the reader with an easy means of recognition of entities and the different variants 
• Inclusion of chapters dedicated to the essential parts of the diagnostic process as well as the standard chapters on individual disease processes to enable the reader to readily access information on specimen sampling, frozen sections, immunohistochemical markers 
• Highlighting mimics and differential diagnoses to help the reader to recognize diagnostic pitfalls and how to avoid them  

This book is intended to provide the diagnostic pathologist with a comprehensive, well-illustrated and extensively cross-referenced approach to pancreatic pathology specimens. It is intended to be used as an everyday bench book beside the microscope. Pathology of the Pancreas covers all the common diagnostic entities in adult pancreatic pathology, providing extensive tables, illustrations, algorithms and cross-referencing to assist the pathologist at the time of diagnostic reporting. It also highlights the potential pitfalls and mimics in pancreatic pathology, and provides guidance on how to potentially avoid them. The book enables the pathologist to recognize the common pathological entities and provide the key information in their pathology reports, which is necessary for individual patient’s further management. Reflecting the practical diagnostic approach of the book, salient diagnostic pathology references and relevant suggested further reading is provided at the end of each chapter.
