Part of the popular Biopsy Interpretation Series, Biopsy
Interpretation of the Central Nervous System, Second Edition, is a
concise, practical resource with a strong focus on diagnosis. It begins
coverage of each individual entity with the clinical context, setting
the stage for discussion of histopathologic features, ancillary studies,

diagnostic decisions. This second edition is an ideal reference and
educational resource for general surgical pathologists, trainees in
pathology and neuropathology, and clinicians who treat patients with
neurological diseases that require surgical sampling.

the future.
