Reviews

The seventh edition represents a significant update on the previous edition. 'Pathologic Basis of Disease 7e' deserves a place on the book shelves of trainee histopathologists and perhaps also those preparing for surgical membership exams. Undergraduates may also find it a useful reference text.
