Description
Springer Imaging And Pathology Of Pancreatic Neoplasms A Pictorial Atlas 2016 Edition by Foreword by Claudio Bassi Mirko D'Onofrio
Although interest in pancreatic pathology is very high in the radiological and gastroenterological communities it is still the case that less is known about pathology of the pancreas than about liver pathology for example. Diagnosis depends on the structure of the pancreatic lesion which can be directly visualized on US CT or MR images. This atlas which encompasses both the imaging and the pathology of pancreatic neoplasms will therefore be invaluable in enabling radiologists and sonographers to understand the underlying pathology and in allowing pancreatic pathologists to understand the imaging translation.The emphasis in the atlas is very much on the pathological and imaging appearances with most of the text concentrated at the beginning of the chapters. A comprehensive overview is provided of typical and atypical presentations and diverse aspects of common and uncommon pancreatic neoplasms including ductal adenocarcinoma neuroendocrine neoplasms intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms cystic neoplasms metastases and lymphoma. Table of contents : Ductal Adenocarcinoma.- Neuroendocrine Neoplasm.- Intraductal Neoplasms.- Serous Neoplasms.- Mucinous Neoplasms.- Solid-Pseudopapillary Neoplasms.- Secondary Tumors and Lymphoma.- Rare Neoplasms.- Driving Questions and Flow Charts Imaging.- Stigmate Review and Interpretation.
