Wodajo: Visual Guide to Musculoskeletal Tumors: A Clinical Radiologic Histologic Approach (Expert Consult Series)

There are many textbooks that adequately catalog musculoskeletal tumors, but few have the unique perspective on diagnosis and treatment offered by three very experienced clinicians focused on musculoskeletal tumors in Visual Guide to Musculoskeletal Tumors. This text is concise and well illustrated, with an emphasis on clinical, radiographic, and pathologic correlation.

Visual Guide to Musculoskeletal Tumors begins with the authors' perspective on using multidisciplinary expertise in developing a broad differential diagnosis. This section is thoughtful and organized and sets the stage for the second section that underscores the “must-know” features of each bone and soft tissue tumor. The final section, Comparative Diagnosis, brings all of the information together and underscores the importance of time and place in diagnosing and treating these diverse tumors.

This text has a sophisticated simplicity that is easy to read and comprehend. It is more than just a study guide but rather a philosophical approach to diagnosing and treating bone and soft tissue tumors that is highlighted by excellent illustrations and salient facts. It will appeal to residents in training as well as experienced surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists interested in musculoskeletal tumors.

Preface

The late Donald Sweet, a great educator who was Chairman of Bone and Joint Pathology at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), had a favorite anecdote. He would recount that, as newer and more-sophisticated immunohistochemical stains were regularly being developed, young pathologists could not resist asking him what his favorite stain was. His ready answer was always “the silver stain.” This would, of course, produce a look of embarrassed puzzlement on the young pathologist, who suddenly worried he missed reading about this apparently vital technique. After a pause, Dr. Sweet would let them in on the secret: the “silver” refers to the silver gel on printed radiographs. The most important “stain” is to look at the radiograph!

Correlating the radiologic and histologic findings was an integral component of the AFIP approach to bone tumors. We wholeheartedly agree and believe this is basic to understanding musculoskeletal tumors. Perhaps in no other category of neoplasms is it so fundamental to examine the imaging studies concurrently with the histology. Because each neoplasm occurs in a specific clinical context, the musculoskeletal pathologist should not sign out his or her report without communicating with the clinician and radiologist about the clinical and imaging findings.

This book was inspired by our annual orthopedic pathology review course in Washington, DC. Over the years, we developed a unique three-way lecture format in which each tumor is presented in quick succession by a clinician, radiologist, and pathologist. This format not only allows the audience to profit from each specialist's experience but also implicitly emphasizes the importance of communication among the specialties.

Communication with other specialties is also a chance for physicians to learn. Sometimes, this simply clarifies language. For example, the histologic description of “small, round blue cell” immediately recalls Ewing sarcoma for the orthopedic surgeon, whereas for the pathologist it probably means the far more common lymphoma. More fundamentally, however, close communication among surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists affords each specialist a wider context and a better understanding of these conditions. This leads to fewer errors, helps to prevent delaying treatment or overtreatment, and finally helps each of us to serve our patients better.

Felasfa M. Wodajo, Francis H. Gannon, Mark D. Murphey

The Audience

This book is primarily addressed to orthopedic residents. Practicing orthopedic surgeons should find this book useful as a quick reference when they encounter a bone or soft tissue lesion in their practice or for review in advance of recertification. Trainees in radiology or pathology may also find it valuable to learn about the broader clinical context of these conditions.

Although many high-quality textbooks of musculoskeletal radiology and pathology are available, we found that many of these texts are too detailed for the non-oncologic physician. Our goal in this book was to attempt a balance between too much and too little detail, and we hope that we have at least approximated the needs of our audience. We greatly enjoyed writing this book and hope that you will have occasion to value it in your training and practice.

Key Features

• Master pattern recognition and diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors with easy-to-use templated chapters and 900 illustrations summarizing essential clinical, histologic, and radiologic findings.
• Make rapid, confident decisions on diagnosis and treatment by comparing your clinical findings to the book’s extensive collection of detailed, large-scale illustrations.

Website Features

Wheater's Basic Pathology: A Text, Atlas and Review of Histopathology 5th Edition (Student Consult Series)

Histology is the study of normal structure. Structure always follows function and histology is therefore a tool for determining the function of different tissues and organs. When tissues malfunction, e.g. in certain disease states such as cancer or inflammation, there are often specific changes in the microscopic structure of the tissues. The study of these changes is known as histopathology. Obviously a sound knowledge of normal structure is essential for an understanding of pathology.

Wheater's Basic Pathology: A Text, Atlas and Review of Histopathology, 5th Edition, by Barbara Young, BSc, Med Sci(Hons), PhD, MB, BChir, MRCP, FRCPA, Geraldine O'Dowd, BSc(Hons), MBChB(Hons), FRCPath and William Stewart, BSc (Hons), MBChB, PhD, DipFMS, FRCPath is a pathology resource that offers a comprehensive introduction to the subject first by covering fundamental pathological processes and then addressing the common diseases encountered in systems pathology. 

Hundreds of high-quality images illustrate the essential features of pathology and make it easy to make definitive comparisons to your own lab samples, while concise captions enable you to quickly and easily understand key points. 

New online access via Student Consult further enhances your study of the material with additional valuable content including USMLE-style questions and much more.

Elder: Lever's Histopathology of the Skin 10th Edition

This work represents, in many ways, an incremental revision and update of the previous edition, which itself was a somewhat more extensive revision of the series of editions produced over more than 40 years by Walter Lever, M.D. 

Lever's Histopathology of the Skin is a classic, comprehensive work that has been used by generations of dermatopathologists, pathologists, and dermatologists to further their knowledge, in their current practices, and in the training of their students. The pathophysiologic organization is based on Walter Lever's original scheme, with appropriate modifications over the years, and is more efficient than the pattern method, since related entities are discussed in juxtaposition. 

This edition contains over 1,400 full-color illustrations, including photomicrographs and clinical photographs of diseases not covered in previous editions. The chapter on algorithmic pattern recognition has been expanded and extensively cross-referenced to the chapters on diseases to aid readers in generating differential diagnoses for unknown cases. 

A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank.

Kerr: Functional Histology 2nd Edition

The study of histology requires that students be able to recognise structures within cells and tissues at varying levels of magnification, and understand their function within the human body. Since histology is a visual subject, high quality images of cells and tissues are vital as a component of course material. In this book, concise text relates the structures seen in the images to biological function, and integrates clinical relevance by describing how the histology of tissues is affected in abnormal conditions.

Atlas of Urinary Cytopathology: With Histopathologic Correlations

Among the more diagnostically challenging human cancers is that affecting the bladder, not because the cytologic changes are so difficult to appreciate, but because the implications of those changes are so misunderstood by pathologists and urologists.

Leopold Koss expresses that misunderstanding in the fifth edition of his seminal work, Diagnostic Cytology and its Histopathologic Bases. "The problem with cytology of the urinary tract is the lack of basic understanding of the accomplishments and limitations of the method and of the pathologic processes accounting for it."

While this volume cannot begin to match Koss’s expansive treatise, the authors hope by the sheer number of illustrations in this atlas to clear some of the misunderstandings of this cancer that affl icts some 70,000 new patients per year and kills another 14,000 in the United States. A noteworthy statistic: more that 500,000 people in the US are survivors of this cancer!

In addition to the skills of the authors, this volume would not have been possible without  the dedicated eff orts of Frances Burroughs, SCT (ASCP), who caringly selected the cytologic examples from the extensive archives of the John K. Frost Cytopathology Laboratory at The Johns Hopkins Hospital.

The authors hope that this volume will serve as a guide to pathologists in selecting appropriate samples when our diagnostic menu is amplified by molecular and genetic markers of prediction and prognosis for those patients unfortunately affl icted with urothelial carcinoma. Until then, may it continue to guide those involved in traditional morphologic diagnosis of urothelial cancer and other malignancies of the bladder and upper urinary tracts.

Junqueira's Basic Histology: Text & Atlas 12th Edition

Since its inception, Junqueira's Basic Histology has set the standard for a concise yet thorough presentation of tissue structure and function for students in the health professions and advanced undergraduates. Junqueira treated histology, the study of cellular and tissue biology, not as microscopic anatomy, but as the key to integrating all of anatomy with physiology, cell and molecular biology, and biochemistry and as the foundation of pathology. Translated into many languages, Basic Histology is used worldwide and its concise, integrated style has been imitated in most subsequent histology texts.

There are three key features of the book. First, the written text itself has been upgraded in many areas while keeping its clear expository style and its integration with related subjects. All topics have been re-examined in the light of current literature and updated or refined if necessary. The result is a thoroughly modern treatment of cell and tissue biology, focused on the needs of students in the health professions. Students desiring additional information or greater detail on a topic can place the bold terms or other key words into any web-based search engine or into PubMed to access the most recent reviews on that topic. To simplify a preliminary overview or rapid review of chapters, main points for each subject are included in the expanded legends that accompany each figure.

Second, micrographs have been replaced as needed and now comprise a complete color atlas of tissue sections that include the important features of every tissue and organ in the human organism stained by standard methods. The light microscope photos are supplemented by electron micrographs and specifically stained preparations when these are useful in explaining unusual cells and tissues and their functional significance. Students purchasing the text can also now be linked for the first time to a virtual microscope and a complete collection of normal tissue specimens, most of which were used for the new micrographs in this atlas.

Finally, new art has been introduced throughout the text in a comprehensive set of modern, full color, three-dimensional drawings prepared by a certified team of medical illustrators. Figures chosen for this new edition include introductory material for each chapter that allows for rapid comprehension of an organ system's basic anatomy. Other illustrations highlight key features of each tissue and organ, along with their functional significance. Especially useful classic illustrations used in previous editions are still present, usually with more color or other new features. For each figure the goals are complete accuracy and sufficient detail to clarify the accompanying text and make learning easier. The result is a comprehensive program of art that strikes a balance between earlier simplistic diagrams and traditional medical illustrations with excessive details.

The overall organization of the highly successful eleventh edition has been retained. Unlike most histology texts, this includes an introductory chapter on laboratory methods used for the study of tissues, including the most important types of microscopy. Separate chapters focus on the cytoplasmic and nuclear compartments of the cell, followed by chapters on the four basic tissues that form the organs. Individual chapters are then devoted to each of the organ systems. Each chapter utilizes Junqueira's cell biological approach, emphasizing the specialized properties and activities of the basic tissue components as the key to understanding the functions of each organ. Also included is a chapter on the eye and ear, with thorough treatments of the structure and function of these organs at the cellular level. With minor changes in the placement of certain topics, the text covers every tissue of the body and is as up-to-date as possible.
 

KEY FEATURES

• Each topic is covered concisely yet thoroughly and includes all histological information required by students in the health professions.
• The number of illustrations have been doubled, to over 1000, with expanded figure legends.
• Figures and their legends include key points to facilitate preview or review study of a chapter.
• New light micrographs provide a complete atlas of human tissues and organs in standard preparations.
• Light micrographs are supplemented as needed by useful but not excessive electron micrographs and other microscopic preparations.
• A comprehensive program of new, modern illustrations facilitates comprehension of the micrographs without unnecessary detail.
• Each topic has been revised as needed to reflect new findings or interpretations of cell and tissue structure.
• Terms used are fully consistent with the new Terminologia Histologica: International Terms for Human Cytology and Histology and with standard usage in both clinical and basic sciences.
• Additional “Medical Applications” concisely state aspects of most topics' clinical relevance.
• The importance of stem cells in organ renewal or repair is emphasized as needed for each organ.

Junqueira's Basic Histology will continue to be one of the most useful histology texts available.
