簡介(Book Description from Google)：
Much of the diversity of head and neck diseases is due to the large number and broad function of the organs within this region. The surgical pathologist must become proficient in this subspecialty area in order to identify and categorize many different subtypes of lesions and diseases, including those affecting the thyroid and salivary glands. This latest book in the Cambridge Surgical Pathology series comprehensively covers all of the methods utilized by pathologists to accurately diagnose diseases affecting all organs in the head and neck region. Coverage is not limited to findings from the light microscope but also includes other genetic, molecular, and immunologic diagnostic modalities, and the unique orientation allows the reader to follow the progression of disease states from incipient to advanced. This book is illustrated with more than 300 color photomicrographs and accompanied by a CD-ROM of all images in downloadable format.

an excellent head and neck pathology textbook
As a third year resident, I need to start preparing for my board examination. Head and neck diseases are part of the examination. I searched the literature to find a good boook for it. The ideal book for me is: numerous pictures, detailed figure ligands, simple and clear text, easy to read and remember, and clarified differentiation diagnosis. One of my colleagues bought this book and he recommended to me. I really like it and it is exactly what I am looking for. In addition to what I mensioned before, the author also put her clinical experience in this book, such as for a high grade salivary gland carcinoma case, the first specimen she got was a positive metastatic lymph node, the second specimen was a minor salivary gland with carcinoma in it, usually we probably stopped here. However, what she did for this case is she led the surgeon to find the primary site of this tumor, the parotid gland which is most common location for this tumor. I think this is very useful for my future practice. You will find a lot of useful tables for differentiation diagnosis. Good book, many thanks for Dr. Brandwein-Gensler.
An excellent lavishly illustrated head and neck pathology textbook/atlas
Dr. Margaret Brandwein-Gensler has created an excellent and unique head and neck pathology book. The text contains essential information about the entities that makes it easy using this book everyday when encountering cases in the practice of surgical pathology. While concise, the book covers most of the entities in head and neck pathology. It is well organized, making finding information very easy. For each entity, there is an introduction with clinical features, and sections detailing histopathology (and cytopathology in many cases), immunohistochemistry findings and differential diagnosis. The pictures, which are numerous, are of excellent quality and in most cases each entity is illustrated with several images showing variations in pathologic presentations and sometimes even pitfalls. Gross pictures and radiologic images complement the histologic pictures. When appropriate, tables are available and include differential diagnoses, classifications and summary of publications. And as in many of the Cambridge University Press books, the price is very reasonable, particularly considering the numerous illustration of the book. I highly recommend this book to practicing surgical pathologist and pathology residents.
