Here is
the new edition of the definitive reference work on liver pathology.
Comprehensive, authoritative and superbly illustrated, this book leads the field,
with editors and contributors who represent a "who's who" of
hepatopathology. The fourth edition is an invaluable bench-side reference and
research tool for the day-to-day diagnosis of the wide range of appearances of
the liver resulting from infection, tumours and tumour-like lesions or damage
caused by drugs or toxins.
Reviews
Reviews of the third edition:
"The text is so
comprehensive that it is hard to identify any single aspect of hepatobiliary
pathology that has not been discussed."
-- Journal of Pathology (1996)
"What many would perceive
as the definitive text on histopathology of the liver"
-- Journal of Clinical Pathology
(1995)
