Description
Surgical pathologists play a central role in patient surveillance and treatment by surgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists. Although salivary gland tumors are uncommon overall, their histopathologic diversity and challenge command the attention of practicing surgical pathologists. Atlas of Salivary Gland Pathology focuses on the diagnostic approach to salivary gland neoplasia—one of the more challenging fields within surgical pathology—emphasizing the need to understand downstream implications with respect to patient surveillance and treatment. The presence of formidable histologic mimicry in salivary gland neoplasia is well-documented in the pathology literature and has also been observed in the consultation practice of the volume editor. This textbook is designed with the needs of practicing surgical pathologists and pathologists-in-training in mind, providing a comprehensive overview of both common and rare salivary gland neoplasms. The primary educational objectives for readers include the following: 1) distinguish benign from low-grade malignant salivary gland neoplasms, 2) effectively use histochemical, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic studies in challenging cases, 3) understand which diagnoses merit additional surgery and/or adjuvant therapy (radiation, chemotherapy), and 4) enhance pathologist-to-clinician communication in the setting of salivary gland disease.
Reviews
Dr Charlotte Rutter graduated from University College London in 1999 with
a BSc(Hons) in Physiology before attending the University of Dundee Medical
School. She graduated in 2004 and undertook Basic Surgical Training in
Glasgow, before taking an alternative career path to complete core medical
training in the Severn Deanery. She is a StR6 in gastroenterology and
general internal medicine, working at Gloucester Royal Hospital with
interests in inflammatory bowel disease, nutrition, intestinal failure and
endoscopy. She will be taking a year out of programme as a clinical fellow
in gastroenterology, intestinal failure and transplantation in London and
Cambridge. She is also interested in medical education, having worked as a
clinical fellow in undergraduate medical education in North Bristol
Academy; during this time she completed a postgraduate certificate in
Teaching and Learning for Health Professionals. Dr Leonard Griffiths
graduated from the University of Bristol in 2003, and completed his general
medical training in and around the Bristol area. This was interspersed with
a period as a University Tutor and he flirted with a career in Emergency
Medicine for 12 months. He completed his StR5 year of gastroenterology in
the Severn Deanery, and is now embarking on a period of research in the
field of metaplasia at the University of Bath. Shortly after completing his
‘last ever exam’ (aka PACES), the SCE in Gastroenterology was introduced.
He felt he was lacking a book guide for this neoterminal segment in
training, and he is confident this text will help others in the future. Dr
Tina Mehta is a Consultant Gastroenterologist at the Royal United Hospital,
Bath. She graduated from the University of Bristol in 2000, and thereafter
she completed her junior doctor training in Bristol. While undertaking her
gastroenterology training in the Severn Deanery she completed a
postgraduate certificate in Teaching and Learning for Health Professionals.
She has a sub-specialist interest in inflammatory bowel disease, nutrition,
endoscopy and endoscopy training. Professor Chris Probert graduated from
University of Birmingham (MBChB 1985) and obtained MRCP in 1988. He was
awarded MD by University of Leicester, in 1993, for the study of the
epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease in South Asian migrants. He
undertook a BDF (now CORE) funded research fellowship at Harvard for 2
years, studying the mucosal immunology of inflammatory bowel disease. He
was appointed to the post of Senior Lecturer, then Reader, in the
Department of Medicine at University of Bristol. He was clinical lead for
gastroenterology, and later for inflammatory bowel diseases, at University
Hospital Bristol NHS Foundation Trust. In 2007, he was appointed to the
chair of gastroenterology in Bristol. In 2011, he was appointed Professor
of Gastroenterology at University of Liverpool. He has a major research
interest in the study of volatile organic compounds for disease diagnosis,
funded by Wellcome Trust, and has led laboratory research in mucosal
immunology and fibrosis in IBD.
