Description

"Providing pathologists with the extensive array of illustrations necessary to understand the morphologic spectrum of interstitial lung disease (ILD), Atlas of Interstitial Lung Disease Pathology provides a clear guide to this often confusing and difficult topic. Each chapter touches on the important radiology, clinical, mechanistic, and prognostic features along with numerous illustrations of pathologic findings in a concise, easy-to-follow format. Interstitial lung disease is an increasing complicated topic, and with the advent in 2014 of the first specific therapies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (vs other types of therapy for other fibrotic interstitial lung disease), interest in accurate classification of interstitial lung disease, particularly fibrotic lung disease has expanded at a rapid rate. The literature in this area is increasing exponentially. The use of multidisciplinary discussion (clinician, radiologist, pathologist) for diagnosing interstitial lung disease has become widespread. In addition, for some diseases molecular pathways are beginning to be elucidated. These changes mandate accurate diagnosis by pathologists and some understanding of the corresponding radiology and clinical features. The new edition will cover advances in the field in the last 5 years, including new entities, new classifications, new molecular pathways, new pathologic findings and differentials, and new therapies"--
