Biopsy Interpretation of Soft Tissue Tumors is a practical guide and bench reference for surgical pathologists for the interpretation of soft tissue biopsies, including open and percutaneous core needle biopsies. Each chapter guides readers in a logical way, with the key differential diagnostic features of specific tumors detailed within each category, using morphologic, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, and genetic data. This parallels and complements the normal diagnostic process. In addition to color photomicrographs the book includes numerous tables for differential diagnosis of specif
