Surgical neuropathology is challenging for many pathologists, in large part to a relative lack of experience of most pathologists in this area compared to other areas of surgical pathology. Brain Tumors addresses this need with cases drawn from the author's surgical neuropathology practices. This volume provides examples of over 100 brain tumors, from the common to the rare. Each example is presented in case based format and the wide variety of cases covers the entire scope of brain tumors offering the opportunity to review the basics for the beginner and offering experienced pathologists the chance to see some of the rare entities. Each is formatted as a consult case including a brief clinical history, description of the pathologic findings with illustrations, line diagnosis, discussion of the entity, and the diagnostic thought process as well as references for further reading. When relevant, current practical applications of immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology are discussed.
