Kidney Transplant Rejection: Diagnosis and Treatment

appendices outline appropriate laboratory techniques. Third, this volume incorporates discussions of unusual cutaneous tumors into one well-written monograph. Pathology of Unusual Malignant Cutaneous Tumors is an important reference textbook; tumors that are generally not discussed in a systematic fashion are presented clearly in this one source. The eight chapters in this book cover sweat gland and pilar carcinomas, sebaceous carcinoma of the oculocutaneous adnexa and extraocular skin, neuroendocrine carcinomas, vascular sarcomas, nonvascular sarcomas, unusual variants of cutaneous malignant melanomas, lymphoid neoplasms, and malignant tumors metastatic to the skin. Each of these topics, although presented by different authors, is thoroughly discussed. The contributing authors have carefully included pathologic descriptions, standard and ancillary diagnostic techniques, and summary recommendations for diagnosis and treatment in all chapters. The monograph is not entirely consistent in its format of presentation for each chapter, but this heterogeneity does not greatly detract from the overall value of the information. The writing styles of the contributing authors are compatible, and the editor has ensured that the chapters' contents are complementary. Pathology of Unusual Malignant Cutaneous Tumors is a clearly written, concise reference that will be very useful to anyone interested in better understanding the pathology of cutaneous neoplasms.
