Reviews

As a practicing pediatric pathologist who sees a fair amount of gastrointestinal pathology, there is no better reference for pediatric specific GI pathology. The pictures are nice, the tables are excellent and the authors are well known in our community for their relative GI expertise. The book is a little aged, with respect to certain modern diagnostics for various genetically associated disease, but like a fine wine, the book ages well.

I would say this is a must have for your office library if you see any amount of pediatric GI biopsies, liver or such.
