Review of the previous edition: "This thoracic pathology book provides an excellent and concise description of key features for each entity with excellent corresponding images. Both neoplastic and non-neoplastic entities are covered with the same degree of detail. This book will be a useful resource for those in training (residents and fellows alike) as well as practicing pathologists, both academic and private." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2022, Maxwell Dong Wang, MD (University of Michigan Medical School) Doody's Score: 4 Stars!
