Packed with clinical photos and images, this new edition has been updated to include the latest in pulmonary surgery, including current nomenclature and a generous bibliography for each section. With the focus still being on the practical side of interpreting non-neoplastic lung biopsy specimens by the general surgical pathologist, this covers general handling and interpretation of lung biopsies, acute lung injury patterns, including diffuse alveolar damage and bronchiolitis obliterans-organizing pneumonia, idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, drug-induced lung disease, systematic diseases involving the lung, pulmonary vasculitis, primary lymphoid lung lesions, unusual pneumonias, granulomatous infections, lung involvement in AIDS, pulmonary hypertension and other vascular disorders, pediatric disorders, specific and nonspecific diseases of uncertain etiology, nonspecific inflammatory and destructive diseases and transbronchial lung biopsy. The index is particular useful as a cross-reference.
