Presented in full colour with numerous illustrations of exceptional quality, the new edition covers both classical and less well known features of individual disease processes together with the differential diagnoses of lymph node biopsy specimens. B-cell lymphomas have been reorganized in line with WHO guidelines whereas topics such as Epstein-Barr virus, age-related lymphomas and prognostic indicators have been expanded and new cases using needle core biopsies are presented.
