ENZINGER & WEISS' SOFT TISSUE TUMORS

Through three successful editions, Enzinger and Weiss's Soft Tissue Tumors has established itself as the leading clinical reference on tumors of the muscle, fat and connective tissue. The new 4th edition has been meticulously revised and expanded to reflect the latest developments in the field. In addition to outstanding pathology coverage, readers will find increased emphasis on prognostic variables and the newer modes of therapy.  

Reviews
 
Praise for previous editions:

Journal of Radiology  
 
"This encyclopedic book deserves the widest attention"  
JAMA 

Features

• Offers the fresh perspective of a new co-author, John R. Goldblum, MD, an eminent pathologist.
• Includes two new chapters-a cytopathology chapter that covers fine needle aspiration and a chapter on immunohistochemistry that includes the newest markers.
• Reflects the most current knowledge with extensively revised chapters on molecular biology, genetics, and cytogenetics of soft tissue tumors.
• Organizes material according to the most recent tumor classification scheme.
• Clarifies material with a notably increased number of colour plates.
• Makes reference easy with more tables that highlight the most relevant information on prognoses and differential diagnoses. 

What's New

• Features superb photomicrographs-many now in colour-with outstanding definition and resolution.
• Offers thorough descriptions and illustrations of all soft tissue tumors and many non-tumorous lesions relevant to differential diagnosis.
• Provides extensive reference lists for further study.
