Product Description

Review

"This book is excellent. Haematopathology can be daunting and the study of bone marrows especially so. The authors deserve credit for producing a book that is not only easy to read and understand, but is also a compact, detailed and exhaustive guide.  I would highly recommend it to trainees and consultants in haematology and histopathology alike. Each and every department that reports bone marrows should have it in their library, preferably within easy reach." (ACP News, December 2010)

“This is one of only a few references that effortlessly integrate the entire process critical for accurate bone marrow interpretation. It is a must for practicing hematopathologists.” (Doody’s,

"Trainee medical and laboratory staff in haematology and histopathology will all derive great benefit from using this publication to aid their studies. The logical approach, concise text, and abundance of illustrations make this book an important addition to any reading list used as preparation for examinations. In short, this is a seriously good book!" (The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, July 2010)

"Bone Marrow Pathology is illustrated very well and contains clear and straightforward description of the broad spectrum of bone marrow pathology. The book is of huge value for histopathologists and hematologists practicing bone marrow diagnostics." (Hematological Oncology, February 2010)

Product Description

Bone Marrow Pathology has been extensively revised to reflect the significant advances which have occurred in the application of cytogenetics and in particular, molecular genetics in the diagnosis, classification and understanding of haematological disorders. This comprehensive book not only provides information on all common disease entities, but also covers rare disorders in which bone marrow examination is useful. It is designed as practical resource with ‘Problems and Pitfalls’ sections throughout to aid laboratory diagnosis.

This fourth edition:

  • Incorporates the recommendations of the 2008 WHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues
  • Covers key diagnostic techniques such as flow cytometric immunophenotyping, immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic and molecular genetic analysis
  • Includes new diagnostic algorithms and summary boxes
  • Contains 550 colour illustrations including high-quality digital photomicrographs 

Haematologists and histopathologists will find this book an invaluable desktop reference when performing daily blood and bone marrow investigations.

Format:Hardcover
The third edition of Bone Marrow Pathology contains more than superficial changes from the previous edition. New sections in each chapter include up-to-date information on supplementary tests including molecular genetics, immunophenotyping and immunohistochemistry.
The dominant and consistent theme throughout the book is the importance of thorough morphological examination of the peripheral blood film, bone marrow aspirate and trephine biopsy in achieving correct pathological diagnosis. This is supplemented with information on additional tests, which may be helpful, and new sections on problems and pitfalls that may be encountered in diagnosing each condition.
The section on the normal bone marrow is a helpful and well presented introduction to examination of the bone marrow and will serve as a sound basis on which to move onto the chapters dealing with pathological changes seen in the marrow.
Evidence is presented in the form of references throughout the text and provides an opportunity for further reading.
The figures are well reproduced in colour and several images are presented for each of the disorders.
An exhaustive collection of images and descriptions are available on some of the more rare disorders that may be encountered.
This book will provided an invaluable reference for trainee haematologists, laboratory scientists and other interested pathology workers.

Descktop reference No-1 for haematopathologist. 8 May 2000
By "kinietis" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
It is the most usefull and practical book about bone marrow pathology that I ever read. It includes allmost all disease entities (malignant and non-malignant) that pathologis is facing in his daily diagnostical peripheral blood and bone marrow investigations. Every entity is described in great detail, separetely concentrating on cytology of peripheral blood, cytology and histology of bone marrow. This is quit unique way of entity descriptions and I think it is very usefull, because it gives to the reader complete and integrated picture of cytological and histological findings. Many other books about the bone marrow pathology does not say anything about the cytology of peripheral blood. There are few things hovewer, that could be delt in more detail. One of such things is that, there is to little comments on differential diagnosis. The other thing is that pictures could also be of better quallity. Despite those few missing things, this book is No1. descktop reference for pathologist who is in charge of daily bone marrow investigations.

what a service!! 1 Jun 2007
By Lawrence O. Osuwat - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Totally appalling service, having paid for an expedited delivery, it took 2 weeks to get the book. No wonder it took an extra two weeks for a request to review the service.
