Main description:

Ductal proliferative lesions and in situ ductal carcinomas are evaluated according to Dr Tavassoli's ductal intraepithelial neoplasia (DIN) terminology. A chapter on DIN provides an update of Dr Tavassoli's current approach and, moreover, gives the reader a chance to understand the proposed differences compared to WHO classification.

Breast carcinomas are discussed in three categories: major types, low-grade carcinomas, and rare carcinomas. The definitions of tumour types; alternative terminologies; macroscopic, micrscopic, and cytologic findings are comprehensively detailed. Composed of 18 chapters, an appendix, and contents sections, this new edition contains 474 figures, some of which include more than one image. All illustrations in this 418-page book are in full colour.

This Atlas will serve as a guide to both general and breast pathologists on the way to diagnosis.
