Diagnostic Pathology: Spleen

Aaron Auerbach, MD, MPH, is the senior hematopathologist at the Joint Pathology Center in Silver Spring, Maryland, where he delivers expertise in both hematopathology and gastrointestinal pathology. He is the author of the prior and upcoming editions of Diagnostic Pathology: Molecular Oncology (2019 and 2023), and the sole author of Diagnostic Pathology: Spleen (2022).

"This book has grown since the first edition to maintain its standing as a comprehensive text (including 14 new chapters). Overall, this book provides all the essential knowledge on splenic pathology in one single resource. It is ideal for daily use as a reference but is also an excellent training resource for learners." -©Doody’s Review Service, 2022, Anna B Owczarczyk, MD, PHD (University of Michigan Medical School) Doody's Score: 5 Stars!
