Biopsy Interpretation of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract and Ear

Although many tumors of the upper respiratory tract are squamous cell carcinomas, the varied tissues of this region can give rise to a bewildering array of neoplasms. This text reviews the interpretation of biopsies of neoplasms and neoplasm-like entities arising in the head and neck region, including the ear. It discusses both neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathology to help make the correct diagnosis and guide patient management. This volume of the Biopsy Interpretation Series is a practical, superbly illustrated guide to interpreting biopsies of the upper aerodigestive tract and ear. The book describes and illustrates the distinguishing features of the wide array of neoplasms and non-neoplastic entities arising in the varied tissues of the head and neck region. The authors address the biopsy interpretation problems confronting pathologists in daily practice. The book contains +400 full-colour illustrations.
