Dorfman and Czerniak's Bone Tumors

"This is an excellent standalone reference for neoplastic bone pathology. It is comprehensive, but the text is clear and easy to understand… It excels in incorporating the genomic discoveries when describing each tumor entity and frequently illustrates genetic findings with helpful diagrams. Overall, this is an excellent contribution to the field of bone pathology and it will make a wonderful comprehensive reference in an institutional, departmental, or personal library." -Reviewed by Kyle D Perry, MD (University of Manitoba College of Medicine) Doody’s Score: 98 - 5 Stars"I unreservedly recommend this book for anyone serious about bone pathology. Although there are other references that are adequate for day-to-day use, Dorfman and Czerniak’s Bone Tumors is the essential reference for the serious practitioner and belongs on the desk of anyone who signs out bone pathology." -Reviewed by Andrea T. Deyrup, M.D., Ph.D. (Department of Pathology, Duke University Medical Center)"The second edition is as lavishly and beautifully illustrated as the first edition with the text as cogent as the first edition and more informative in content because of the inclusion on the growing influence (since the previous edition) of molecular pathology in the diagnosis and treatment of skeletal tumors. The high quality of illustrations, comprehensive epidemiology of bone tumors and the practical multi-disciplinary approach that pervades the text makes it of as much value to the orthopedic surgeon and radiologist, as it would the pathologist, confronted with bone tumors and tumor like lesions, be they on a regular or sporadic basis." -Reviewed by Murali Sundaram, MD, FRCR (Cleveland Clinic)"In my opinion this book is without doubt the most comprehensive, up to date and beautifully illustrated text book available on bone tumours. I recommend it unreservedly to all pathology departments and it is an absolute must for those practicing any form of orthopaedic pathology." -Reviewed by: S.Fiona Bonar, MB.
