This book is aimed primarily at the practising diagnostic histopathologist. However, the clinical, functional and radiological consequences of the structural changes described are not neglected and the resultant clinicopathological correlation should be of interest to thoracic clinicians, radiologists and surgeons as well as general histopathologists. The intention has been to cover lung disease in as comprehensive yet succinct a manner as possible.
We have collaborated closely on each chapter and believe that this has resulted in a uniform style and proper balance between chapters, minimized repetition and avoided the delays that often render obsolete parts of some multi-author works. Indeed the opportunity has been taken to update both text and references at the latest possible point in the production schedule.

Key Features
- Approximately 1,000 high quality full color illustrations.Provides the user with a complete visual guide to each specimen and assists in the recognition and diagnosis of any slide looked at under the microscope.
- Comprehensive coverage of both common and rare lung diseases and disorders. One stop consultation resource for the reporting room or study, no need to go further to get questions answered.
- Clinical background and ancillary radiographs incorporated throughout.Provides the user with all of the necessary diagnostic tools to make a complete and accurate pathologic report.
- Practical advice and tips from two of the world's recognized experts. Provides the trainee and general surgical pathologist with time saving diagnostic clues when dealing with difficult specimens.
- Consistent and uniform approach incorporated for each disease and disorder (Etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, pathologic features, differential diagnosis) User-friendly format enables quick and easy navigation to the key information required.
- Extensive use of summary tables, charts and graphs throughout the text. Helps simplify and clarify complex concepts and facilitates "at a glance" comparisons between entities.
- Extensive reference list highlights landmark articles as well as including most up-to-date citations. Directs the trainee and practitioner to the most recent and authoritative sources for further reading and investigation.
