From the reviews:“The purpose is to fill a void in general pathology books that seem to lack information on frozen section diagnosis and the problems that may be encountered. … This book does not stray from its goal. Practicing surgical pathologists or pathologists in training are the intended audience. … This book would be helpful to read in advance of performing frozen section diagnoses.” (Jamie L. Porter, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2010)
