This Atlas pairs photos with microscopic images and diagnostic studies for abnormalities and diseases of the esophagus and stomach. Covers developmental abnormalities, toxic insults, infectious diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions and neoplasia.

Atlas of Esophagus and Stomach Pathology provides an image-based resource for those studying normal histology of the upper gastrointestinal tract, as well as the microscopic manifestations of developmental abnormalities, toxic insults, infectious diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, and neoplasia in the esophagus and stomach. Because modern gastrointestinal pathology practice centers on specimens obtained during endoscopic examination, the atlas focuses on biopsy pathology, providing real-world microscopic images and ancillary diagnostic studies for most commonly-encountered abnormalities and diseases affecting these two organs. The book is supplemented with endoscopic and special study images.

Authored by nationally and internationally recognized pathologists, Atlas of Esophagus and Stomach Pathology is a valuable tool for both pathologists-in-training seeking to make new acquaintances, and practicing surgical pathologists in need of a quick visual reference in recalling old friends in the world of diagnostic gastrointestinal pathology.

Authored by nationally and internationally recognized pathologists Features visual diagnostic criteria with detailed figure legends A quick reference guide for the diagnosis of usual and unusual diseases Supplemented with endoscopic and special study images Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
