Tumors of the Salivary Glands: No. 9 AFIP Atlas of Tumor Pathology

Tumors of the Salivary Glands: No. 9 is a specialized volume within the AFIP Atlas of Tumor Pathology series. This edition builds upon previous work by providing a wide spectrum of illustrations for each described tumor and disease. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the visual and diagnostic aspects of salivary gland pathology. In addition to traditional methods, this book covers modern diagnostic developments. It includes information on morphometry, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, gene rearrangement studies, and other molecular biologic methodologies. While these new areas are being integrated into pathology laboratory procedures, the text maintains that histomorphologic evaluation remains the primary and most useful method for diagnosis. This volume is designed to support medical professionals by combining established histomorphologic techniques with emerging molecular biology studies. It provides the necessary context for applying these diverse methodologies to salivary gland disease, ensuring a well-rounded approach to diagnostic pathology.
