' In summary, I would highly recommend this book to the general pathologist who may have to deal with a difficult problem from the mediastinum. At 132 pages, the book is short and presents its information in a crisp, forthright manner. ... I would consider it well worth buying. ' Clinical Oncology, 5 No. 6, 1993 'This book is a pleasure to read and can recommended without restrictions as a valuable supplement to more extensive textbooks. It is also a valuable guide for clinicians and surgeons involved in thoracid pathology.' Ultrastructural Pathology 17:123 1993
