This book provides a quick, pattern-based reference for interpreting histologic changes in non-neoplastic liver. It is designed to guide the reader based on morphologic pattern and basic clinical information. Each chapter covers a broad but identifiable pat tern of pathologic liver findings (e.g., portal inflammation or steatosis ) and discusses the major disease entities that manifest as such a pattern. As liver biopsies can be complex and daunting, such an approach should improve the reader's ability to identi fy a likely diagnosis or differential and to distinguish among the possible disease enti ties. Sample reports at the end of each chap ter offer guidance on how to sign out cases.
Non-Neoplastic Liver Pathology: A Patholo gist's Survival Guide will be of value to practicing pathologists without specialized training in hepatic pathology, pathology residents and fellows trying to learn the basics of non-neoplastic liver pathology, and hepatologists interested in reviewing liver biopsies with pathologists
