Cover of Colin Kerr: Lung and Pleural Pathology (ePUB)
The pleura and lung are intimately associated and share many pathologic conditions. Nevertheless, they represent twoseparate organs of different embryonic derivation and with different yet often symbiotic functions. Pleural thickening, alsoknown as diffuse pleural thickening, is a lung disease in which extensive scarring thickens the pleura, which is the lining of thelungs. The condition may cause chest pain and breathing difficulty. This book explores the pathologic manifestations of themany conditions that primarily or secondarily affect the pleura. It offers a comprehensive survey of common and uncommonconditions likely to be encountered in a wide range of practices. It explains the normal macroscopic and microscopic lunganatomy followed by practical tips on how to handle the most common specimens received in pathology practice.The text islavishly illustrated with the highest quality illustrations which accurately depict the histological, immunohistochemical andcytological findings under consideration. It is the one comprehensive, up-to-date pulmonary pathology textbook thatcovers important new clinical approaches, including WHO classification of lung cancer; the current status of lung cancerbiomarkers; and emerging concepts in lung fibrosis and interstitial lung diseases, which have implications for newertreatments.
