Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Excellent book for bladder biopsy. Comprehensive, very updated and precise reference book. The only unsatisfactory part is that the new chapter of urine cytology is not very good probably due to the limitation of contents. However, I still strongly recommend this book.

Essential for practicing renal pathologists
Diagnostic Pathology: Kidney Diseases covers topics in renal pathology in a very concise way. The content is in bullet format for easy scanning. Almost every disease entity encountered by renal pathologists are included, though there is no tumor pathology (which is not in the field of renal pathology anyway). The microscopic pictures in the book are the best among renal pathology textbooks in term of both quality and quantity. Access to e-book version is nice, although there is no easy way to download the pictures.
If you are practicing renal pathologist or have to deal with renal biopsy, this book is highly recommended.

Comprehensive and focused pearls
A truly comprehensive yet focused book on hematopathology. This book covers ALL aspects of hematopathology that are important to know. I use this book on a daily basis and no longer use my WHO.

Great Hemepath Reference Textbook
I love this book. As the previous reviewers commented on, the book is a very comprehensive reference textbook on hematopathology that is up to date with the current 2008 WHO Classification. It covers both malignant and benign heme in a comprehensive and readily understandable format with many good diagrams and color microphotographs. My favorite part of the book are the pearls which I have found to be very helpful in signing out difficult cases.

 Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Excellent, practical guide for handling those vexing inflammatory dermatoses!
Highly recommended, especially for practicing general pathologists!
Dr. Billings truly understands how intimidating dermatoses can be to the uninitiated - or even to the seasoned general pathologist. From the Preface:
'When I was a first year resident, I emerged from my first dermatopathology conference with only one thought in mind: I would never study dermatopathology. It was all too confusing. Everything looked alike, and the terminology was impenetrable. ... So why this book? Probably because I keep running into residents and practicing pathologists who have the same reaction I had when I first encountered the subspecialty of dermatopathology. ... Dermatopathology is hard, but not as hard as it is made out to be. ...' (p. vii)
Truly a survival guide, it is a very practical and slim tome that gives you the essentials for a methodical approach to the daunting and confusing field of inflammatory dermatoses, based on the overall reaction pattern (spongiotic, psoriasiform, and perivascular dermatitis, etc.). While that may not be such a unique tack to take these days, the addition of sample reports at the end of each chapter certainly is! This feature gives general pathologists a very helpful template for formulating the diagnosis line, and the comment that includes a brief microscopic description and a discussion of differential diagnoses as related to any clinical information. With a very lucid, organized, and efficient writing style, this book has proven to be an invaluable resource for my daily dose of dermpath dermatoses. The authors' aim was to 'demystify inflammatory dermatopathology' - and they have greatly helped to accomplish thus with this guide.
Thank you, Dr. Billings and Dr. Cotton, for making such a wonderfully helpful dermpath book available at last!

An excellent resource and highly recommended
This book provides a surprisingly concise, practical, easy-to-understand, and logical approach to learning the notoriously confusing and difficult subject that is inflammatory derm. It is great as both an introductory text for the novice resident, because it provides a basic framework on how to approach skin biopsies, as well as the seasoned pathologist, who may be a bit intimidated to sign out anything that isn't a neoplasm. In addition to providing practical tips, the book also contains numerous examples of reports - a feature that is incredibly helpful when, often more times than not, the findings are non-specific and can be seen in a variety of settings. Overall, an excellent resource and highly recommended!

Silva's diagnostic renal pathology

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：
The kidneys are responsible for many key bodily functions, but their primary role as a filter of toxins makes them extremely susceptible to disease. Often these diseases can only be diagnosed through a renal biopsy, a complicated procedure requiring ancillary immunologic and molecular diagnostic techniques. Many academic centers set aside dedicated laboratories specifically for renal pathology due to the amount of expertise required. This book covers all methods used by renal pathologists to diagnose a wide range of kidney diseases. Unlike most literature on renal pathology, this book is situated on the midpoint between encyclopedic and superficial coverage, written for the signing-out pathologist. While focusing on tumors and transplantation rejection, a full spectrum of infectious, inflammatory, and congenital disorders is covered in both pediatric and adult populations and is analyzed not only by light microscopy but by each applicable diagnostic modality available. The text is illustrated with more than 1,000 photomicrographs and diagrams, including a CD-ROM of all images.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Silva's Diagnostic Renal Pathology
Edited by a group of internationally renowned renal pathologists, this is the best renal pathology book I have ever read. It covers the pathology of the entire spectrum of medical renal diseases, renal transplantation and renal tumors. The book is uniquely organized according to the clinical syndromes with numerous well-designed and extremely useful diagnostic flowcharts. It is beautifully crafted and illustrated with over 1000 images. All nephrologists, pathologists, and trainees of pathology and nephrology should read this book.

A valuable reference book for renal pathology
The Silva's Diagnostic Renal Pathology has systemically described renal pathology. The authors have incorporated pathologic mechanism, morphologic diagnosis, clinical relevance and laboratory parameters in a comprehensive way. At same time, the book is compact; easily to read and has plenty color photos to illustrate the pathologic details. The references are also up to date. It is a very good reference book for renal pathologists as well as for general surgical pathologists who intemperate medical renal diseases.

a beginner's guide to the diagnostic process

(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. As a result, the pathology intern often comes into residency unprepared.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Completely illustrated in color, this book lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. It includes basic introductory material and progresses through each organ system. Within each chapter, there is a brief review of salient normal histology, a discussion of typical specimen types, a strategic approach to the specimen, and a discussion of how the multitude of different diagnoses relate to each other.

The best book for pathology residents!
This is the most high-yield, readable book available for path residents. i recently finished my residency in California and this book would've made a huge difference in my education. It is organized by organ system (29 chapters) and has 15-18 excellent high-quality photomicrographs in ea chapter. Has over 30 photos in skin and bone/soft tissue chapters. Most photos also include labels so you know what you're looking at!
It includes an outstanding chapter on the placenta (the best overview i have ever read). Also a ch. on how to sign-out "Ditzels" those small benign specimens that beginners can get hung up on, like cholesteatomas. Also includes lymph node and bone marrow chapters.
It contains a lot of good foundation and pearls of information that will make your sign-out sessions 10x more effective for learning.
It acknowledges a lot of the quirky nomenclature issues and makes them clearly understandable. For ex., non-invasive urothelial vs invasive urothelial carcinomas vs carcinoma in-situ. The author(s) also spend time clarifying confusing neuroendocrine issues/terminology, like PNETs and lung vs GI vs pancreatic sign-outs.
It answers a ton of questions that i thought confusing, but seemed too trivial or stupid to ask.
The only thing missing is a chapter on thymomas. Otherwise, this book is perfect for residents!
 
Starting pathology residency? This is for you
Excellent book. A must have for first year pathology residents! If you're buried under large textbooks and don't know where to go, buy this book. The chapters are concise and easy to read. The pictures are clear with arrows and circles highlighting the important cells/areas.
 
Very useful
I'm in second year of my pathology residence and this book is very useful for me. It was written in the same style, as books of "...for dummies" series - simple, but not primitive and very informative. One key component in every residency program is the practical instruction in histopathology, often accompanied by verbal tips, unwritten rules and useful pearls. Those attendings able to communicate in this way stand out. In a similar way 'The Practice of Surgical Pathology' (TPSP) stands out.
All illustrations are of very good quality (unlike Robbins and Cotran's) and, what is very important for novice - all have arrows, arrowheads and other indicators of "where to look".
Of course, this book is NOT enough to pass exams or to work as pathologist, but it is very book for beginnersnin pathology
 
Eye opener for residents
The many dense descriptions and clear pictorial examples are flanked by practical tips. While TPSP is not intended to replace textbooks of surgical pathology, it is in the overall guiding principles where other books fall short.
The comparison with 'beside-the-microscope manuals' [e.g. Tadrous, Allen] is not justified. TPSP is not written to provide quick access to facts; rather it's strength lies in the continuous text with excellent flow. Almost like a good lecture, TPSP provides a framework for concepts in surgical pathology.
Very few people have the ability to condense a complex field into a quick-read (~17 hours cover to cover) and maintain clarity. Although some of the clever wording may not be obvious to a beginner, it's the balance between brevity and clarity that makes TPSP unique.
Just in case you missed my assessment - I would like to give Dr. Weedman-Molavi's book my highest recommendation.
 
A Lifesaver
Dr. Molavi's short textbook has been an invaluable aid to me during the initial portion of my residency. From common sign-outs to the multiple unknown conferences we have had, her book has served as a quick and understandable resource to help me get started. Pathology, as a medical specialty that is not usually covered well in medical school, was something of a black box for me. Her well-written book was succinct and understandable to me - vitally important in trying to navigate the tens of thousands of pages from hundreds of resources. Is it comprehensive? It is not meant to be. But for bridging the gap for new residents in pathology, I have found it invaluable. I heartilly recommend it to anyone getting started in this fascinating field, as well as those who are just interested in what pathology actually is. Fantastic book!
 
Great Book for First Year Residents
This is an outstanding book in surgical pathology for first year pathology residents. The book gives the basic information you need to diagnose common pathological lesions that you will see on a daily basis. The book is divided into chapters based on individual organs, with additional chapters on pathologic terminology, basic microscope use including Kohler illumination, inflammation, and immunostains. This book does not include detailed descriptions of diagnoses or any unusual diagnoses. Its strength is guiding the first year resident into an approach to evaluating tissue and diagnosing common pathologic disorders. It should not be used to replace standard pathology textbooks.
 
Great resource
I'm a first year path resident and I've found this book to be immensely helpful. I encountered it as a MS4 and to be honest I was underwhelmed at the time. It wasn't until I started residency until I realized the beauty of this book. It's prefect for first year residents who are looking for a tool to help with sign-out preparation. Great book, get it. Do it now....
 
Definitely worth having it
This book is extremely useful for first year residents just starting surgical pathology. It's very basic with lots of pictures and arrows pointing out important things, which helps a lot when you don't have much pathology background and trying to figure out what storiform pattern looks like!! Also great for 4th year medical students wanting to go into pathology.
 
Excellent source for internship/beginning pathology
Only recently published within the last 2 years, this book is a godsend to pathology interns who don't have extensive exposure to the field. The content is simplified, serving as a good bridge to more comprehensive textbooks like Rosai and Ackerman or Sternberg's Pathology. Valuable content includes a list of proper descriptive lingo (along with great demonstrative histology pictures), common diagnoses encountered in pathology (organized by organ system,) and even an introduction to using the microscope. My co-interns and I constantly refer to this book. Highly recommended investment!
 
Essential starter book!
This is the perfect book for those starting out their training in pathology. It's akin to the 'at a glace' series of books for other specialties. The full texts are just too overwhelming for the novice. This should be a prescribed text! It's that good!
