Practical Pulmonary Pathology is designed as a bench reference for those pathologists who have to deal with the day-to-day problems of pulmonary disease. The first part of the book covers bronchial and transbronchial biopsy, and pulmonary cytology. Subsequent chapters provide expert accounts of the special problems of different disease states including tumours, lymphomas and mesotheliomas, AIDS, vascular disease, intestinal lung disease, pneumoconiosis, and paediatric lung disease. Additionally there is coverage at a practical level of the handling of resection and autopsy lung specimens, and of the special issues raised by transplantation.
