Odze: Surgical Pathology of the GI Tract, Liver, Biliary Tract and Pancreas 2nd Edition (Expert Consult Series)

Surgical Pathology of the GI Tract, Liver, Biliary Tract, and Pancreas was originally conceived on the basis of our perceived need in academic surgical pathology for a textbook that includes diseases of all organs traditionally considered part of the field of “gastrointestinal pathology”—the tubular gut, liver, gallbladder, biliary tract, and pancreas—all under one cover. The second edition represents a significant improvement over the first edition in many ways, outlined in the following few paragraphs:

1. Overall, the book is 40% larger. For instance, five new chapters have been added, and these are titled “Screening and Surveillance Guidelines in Gastroenterology,” “Congenital and Developmental Disorders of the GI Tract,” “GI Tract Enteropathies of Infancy and Childhood,” “Vascular Disorders of the GI Tract,” and “Fatty Liver Disease.”
2. Additional sections on normal histology of the GI tract, pancreatico-biliary tract, and liver have been added to chapters 1, 29, and 36, respectively.
3. Tables to outline specific differential diagnostic points helpful for surgical pathologists at the level of the microscope have been increased in number and expanded.
4. The number (and quality) of color photographs have been increased by at least 30%.
5. A succinct and clinically relevant discussion of the key molecular aspects of tumor progression and risk assessment have been added to all chapters that cover neoplastic disorders.
6. An outline has been added to the beginning of all chapters in order to expedite searching for specific topics of interest.
7. All chapters have been updated to include the most current references, concepts, data, and controversies.
8. Diagnostic algorithms have been added to many chapters in order to simplify the evaluation of diagnostically challenging entities.
9. The new edition includes an online version that readers can access from any laptop computer, world-wide.

In the second edition, we have, once again, paid special attention to providing only the most relevant, up-to-date clinical, etiologic, and management information necessary for surgical pathologists to make clinically relevant diagnoses. This continues to be a morphology-based textbook with particular emphasis on histologic methods that can help differentiate diseases based on evaluation of biopsy and resection specimens. However, gastroenterologists, surgeons, and residents/fellows in training may also find this textbook of interest because of the accent on clinical-pathologic associations. The second edition is even more user friendly than the first edition, and it is organized in a method that helps pathologists gain access to diagnostic information quickly without having to waste time leafing through the index and turning pages. The overall organization of the textbook remains the same as in the first edition: part 1 represents disorders of the gastrointestinal tract; part 2, the gallbladder, extrahepatic biliary tract, and pancreas; and part 3, the liver. In each part, an introductory chapter on pertinent tissue processing techniques and normal histology, and a wellillustrated chapter on diagnostic cytology of each of the major organ systems, are included. Subsequent chapters in each section are separated into general disease categories, such as systemic disorders, inflammatory disorders, polyps, epithelial neoplasms, and other types of neoplasms, similar to the method used by pathologists to evaluate tissue specimens. In addition, the liver section is divided into chapters based on major patterns of injury, recapitulating the approach to liver biopsy assessment. Of course, all chapters were written by pathologists with a special interest or expertise in a particular field. Finally, the editors have paid careful attention to providing a consistent style of writing, structure, and content from chapter to chapter.

We are confident that the second edition represents a bigger, better, and, ultimately, state-of-the-art textbook on the pathology of the gastrointestinal system, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas that can be enjoyed by pathologists and clinicians worldwide.
