Theory and Practice of Histotechnology

Abstract

Carter & Eggleston have made an excellent job of rewriting Tumors of the Lower Respiratory Tract.This 17th fascicle of the 2nd series replaces Liebow's 1952 edition and is a worthy successor.The all-too-common bronchogenic carcino- mas are of course well covered but these fascicles are just as much consulted for information on the oddities and I could detect no omissions in this area.The rarer neoplasms are dealt with succinctly and sections on inflammatory pseudo- tumours and hamartomas ensure full coverage of primary and secondary tumours of the lower respiratory tract, including the pleura.The nomenclature used follows the WHO classification fairly closely and seems eminently sensible.
