Part of the popular Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology Series, Hematopathology, Fourth Edition, is a practical and affordable resource that is ideal for study and review as well as everyday clinical practice. With its highly templated format, clearly written text, and concise summary tables, this user-friendly reference helps both trainees and practicing pathologists form accurate diagnoses, avoid pitfalls, and confidently sign out pathology reports on these often difficult and challenging cases.

Flow cytometry plays a critical role in the diagnosis of hematopoietic neoplasms. Understanding the key immunophenotypic features of each entity is essential for accurate diagnosis. Filling a crucial gap in current literature, this is a comprehensive reference text that systematically details these immunophenotypic profiles. Grounded in real-world experience, this practice-driven resource offers expert guidance on the use of flow cytometry in the diagnosis and classification of hematolymphoid neoplasms. Covering major disease categories, technical insights, and emerging therapies like CAR T-cells, readers will gain a solid foundation for identifying deviations seen in hematologic malignancies, thereby enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
