Reviews
"A valuable addition to our literature, which certainly deserves a place on the surgical pathologist's bookshelf . . . Despite the numerous contributors, the quality of the writing remains high throughout. The textual material is clear, concise, and highly readable . . . The authors have provided a useful and important addition to the literature. I am pleased to recommend Modern Surgical Pathology." - JAMA, review of the last edition
