Featuring some 800 full-color illustrations and plenty of at-a-glance tables, this resource for clinicians and residents covers all of the most commonly encountered neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions affecting the head and neck. The 22 chapters follow a consistent format that explores each entity's clinical features, pathologic features, ancillary studies, differential diagnoses, and prognostic and therapeutic considerations. An anatomical reference is provided in the appendix, along with the current TNM classifications for head and neck carcinomas. Editor Thompson is affiliated with Woodland Hills Medical Center in California. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
