As a handbook for practicing pathologists, this book will be an indispensable aid to diagnosis and avoiding dangers in one of the most challenging situations that pathologists encounter. Rapid consideration of differential diagnoses and how to avoid traps caused by frozen section artifacts will be readily accessible to the users of this handbook. Currently, there is no other up-to-date single-source reference specifically focused on frozen sections of the lower gastrointestinal tract.
From the reviews:
"The purpose is to fill a void in general pathology books that seem to lack information on frozen section diagnosis and the problems that may be encountered. ... This book does not stray from its goal. Practicing surgical pathologists or pathologists in training are the intended audience. ... This book would be helpful to read in advance of performing frozen section diagnoses." (Jamie L. Porter, Doody's Review Service, December, 2010)
