Reviews
ENDOCRINE PATHOLOGY
LESTER D. R. THOMPSON
Reviewed by Dr Tim Stephenson, Consultant Histopathologist, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, on behalf of The Royal College of Pathologists, January 2007
This is the fifth volume in the Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology series and by ‘endocrine pathology’, the authors mean a scope of thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pituitary and paraganglion system pathology with appendices on anatomy, embryology and histology and intraoperative consultation and grossing techniques.
I found the style of this volume to be consistent and well organised. Information is clearly presented and, for a medium-sized volume, there is a commendable level of detail. The level of detail is suitable for genuine diagnostic practice – this is a working pathologist’s book rather than a postgraduate student’s book.
I commend the generous level of illustrations which is in full colour, sharp, well colour-balanced, and genuinely illustrative of the features being described. I found myself appreciating the fact sheets and can imagine a diagnostic histopathologist quickly glancing through them to refresh their mind on features, or to look whether a condition was seriously within the differential diagnostic being considered, or if it could be ruled out without further reading.
I can warmly recommend purchase of this book for departments practicing endocrine pathology at secondary and tertiary healthcare levels.
