Description

Covering both common and rare neoplastic and nonneoplastic diseases of the lung and pleura, Pulmonary Pathology, 3rd Edition, is an essential foundation text for pathologists. This popular volume in the Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology series reflects recent advances in the field, while retaining the easy-to-use template format for quick retrieval of information. Contributions from internationally recognized lung pathologists keep you up to date with the latest information in pathology and pulmonary medicine.

Key features

  • Focuses primarily on diagnosis, with correlations to clinical and radiographic characteristics
  • Summarizes clinical and pathologic features in quick references boxes throughout the text
  • Contains hundreds of photomicrographs and gross photographs—most in full color—that depict important pathologic features, enabling you to form a differential diagnosis and compare your findings with actual cases
  • Reflects recent advances in molecular genetics and personalized medicine, molecular technologies used for the diagnosis of infectious diseases, next generation sequencing, and the application of molecular technologies to cytopathology
  • Includes a new chapter on COVID-19
  • An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date

Review quotes

"...covers both neoplastic and non-neoplastic lung diseases. This book is intended to provide a single point of reference for the diagnosis of lung and pleural lesions. Updates to the content in this edition include expanded information on the molecular and genetic associations of lung disease entities that may be useful in differential diagnosis and postdiagnosis prognostication, as well as information on recent pulmonary disease entities, such as lesions seen in SARS-COV2 lung infections and vaping-related lung injury. The primary audience is pathology residents, fellows, and practicing pulmonary pathologists, [but] it will also prove a useful resource for general pathologists.... Each chapter is organized by disease entity and begins with a summary of important findings, clinical and radiologic features of the disease, and gross and microscopic pathologic findings.... a comprehensive yet concise resource for learning about and diagnosing diseases of the lung and pleura." ©Doody's Book Review Service, 2025, Jenelle Lee, MSc, MD (University of Michigan Medical School)
