Abstract

Meeting the needs for haematologists and clinical chemists for an up to date reference, this atlas provides a visual presentation of lymphoproliferative disorders, leukaemia and plasma cell neoplasms. Compiled by leading experts in the UK, each malignancy is surveyed based on molecular and cellular changes, including histochemistry, cytochemistry and relevant radiographs. Pertinent clinical information relating to clinical presentation, differential diagnosis and prognostic indicators are concisely outlined, using numerous graphics and citing key references in the field. A companion volume in the series will comprise an illustrated guide to myeloid malignancies.
