Pathology of the Pancreas

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Derived from 40 years' experience in diagnostic surgical pathology and autopsy rooms, this book deals with the gross and microscopic structure of the normal pancreas, placing a special focus on structural abnormalities. Updated information on congenital abnormalities and the effects of primarily non-pancreatic diseases upon this organ such as arterial diseases, makes this new Second Edition a indispensable addition to your library.
