This volume in the Pattern Recognition Series helps you to efficiently and confidently evaluate even the most challenging histologic specimens.

• Compare your specimens to commonly seen patterns, categorize them accordingly, and turn directly to in-depth diagnostic guidance using the unique, pattern-based Visual Index at the beginning of the book.
• Assess key pathologic and clinical aspects of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions with over 750 high-quality, full-color images that help you evaluate and interpret biopsy samples.
• Benefit from expert guidance in key areas such as renal biopsy interpretation, handling of nephrectomy specimens, pathology relevant to renal transplantation, and pathology of unusual renal neoplasms.
• Progress logically from the histologic pattern, through the appropriate workup, around the pitfalls, to the best diagnosis.
