This edition includes many new cases and illustrations, discussions on the growing importance of immunopathology, and updated guidelines on pathologic examination and reporting of needle core biopsy specimens.

Doody's Book Review Service, 29-SEP-06, Ivan Damjanov, MD, PhD, University of Kansas Medical Center --

"The 31 chapters cover the entire spectrum of breast pathology, including inflammatory lesions and benign and malignant neoplasms. Normal breast histology is also described, and chapters cover handling of biopsy specimens, radiologic data obtained by mammography, and the clinical significance of the pathology findings. The book is illustrated with high quality color microphotographs prepared from routine hematoxylin and eosin slides and immunohistochemically stained slides from the authors' own diagnostic material. Useful tables cover topics such as grading of intraductal and invasive breast carcinoma.

"When the first edition of the book was published in 1999, it was greeted as the first and only book dedicated to needle core biopsy of the breast. The second edition has been systematically updated. Many new references have been included and many are as recent as 2005. New photographs have been added and the recent developments are discussed whenever indicated. As such, this edition has retained the position of the leading practice oriented textbook-cum-atlas of breast pathology. It is an essential core title for all surgical pathology libraries."—Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 100—5 Stars)
