Breast Pathology Diagnosis, Needle Core Biopsy

Edited by two eminent authorities on breast pathology, this heavily illustrated text offers essential guidance on diagnostic evaluation of needle core biopsies. The focus is on the most common and challenging differential diagnostic problems encountered in these specimens. More than 1,000 full-color illustrations depict the entire spectrum of breast pathology seen in needle core biopsies.

This edition includes many new cases and illustrations, discussions on the growing importance of immunopathology, and updated guidelines on pathologic examination and reporting of needle core biopsy specimens. Contributions by two well-known radiologists present state-of-the-art information on the techniques and clinical impact of imaging-guided needle core biopsy.
