DESCRIPTION:
Illustrated with over 800 colour images, this practical guide covers the unique morphology and disease spectrum in pediatric patients, ranging from normal physiologic changes to pathologic states. In addition, it covers newly described pediatric diseases, such as GATA-2 haploinsufficiency and reflects the latest WHO classification for hematolymphoid neoplasms. With the visual format of an atlas, the book provides a quick reference for trainees and physicians in hematopathology, as well as for hematologists and oncologists treating pediatric patients. An online version of the book with expandable figures can be accessed on Cambridge Core, via the code printed on the inside of the cover.
