This new atlas from Springer should more appropriately be called ‘Atlas of Salivary Gland Surgical Pathology’ as it is more geared towards surgical pathologists who are involved in the everyday evaluation of salivary gland resection specimens, especially for epithelial tumors. The book has five contributors and is divided into twentyeight chapters. Five chapters deal with general aspects of the evaluation of salivary gland specimens both grossly and microscopically. The first two chapters deal with normal gross andmicroscopic anatomyof the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands. The next three chapters show intraoperative, gross andmicroscopic features of pathological specimens. The remaining 23 chapters cover twenty-three benign and malignant salivary gland tumors in alphabetical order from acinic cell carcinoma toWarthin tumor. All these chapters have a standard format with description of demographic features for each entity followed by a very brief description of architectural and cytology features. Twenty to forty-five photomicrographs of each of these entities were then included going from low power architectural to high power cytological details. Commonly used immunohistochemical assays and fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) studies are also included where applicable. Each of these chapters then end with a bibliography including a selection of the most seminal studies for each of these entities. This atlas overall is very handy and useful for surgical pathologists, ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeons and oncologists involved in the care of patients with salivary gland tumors. The text is very brief and succinct. The illustrations are for the most part excellent and well-conceived. The newest (2016/2017) World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Salivary Gland Tumours [1] is used throughout, and the bibliography is up-to-date. The e-book with the entire text and photomicrographs is available as PDF and EPUB versions from the Springer site. Hyperlinks were provided in the beginning contents section for the chapters, and there is an additional hyperlink for the photomicrograph section at the beginning of each chapter, allowing for easy navigation. There are a few things the authors may want to consider for the next edition of this otherwise excellent atlas. The photographs for the FISH studies could be better annotated to indicate the different markers involved. The text also could be expanded to include the differential diagnosis (‘D’) in the A (architecture), B (biphasic), C (cytology) and D of salivary gland neoplasms. In the e-book version, hyperlinks also may be useful in the index section and for some of the more important references. Sections of non-neoplastic and non-epithelial such as lymphoid lesions also would be useful additions. Overall, this is an excellent and useful atlas for day-today evaluation of salivary gland neoplasms, and the authors did a very good job to demystify this challenging area of surgical pathology.

唾液腺病理图谱

这个来自 Springer 的新图谱应该更恰当地称为“唾液腺外科病理学图谱”，因为它更适合参与唾液腺切除标本日常评估的外科病理学家，尤其是上皮肿瘤。本书共有五位撰稿人，共分为二十八章。五章涉及大体和微观评估唾液腺标本的一般方面。前两章涉及腮腺、下颌下腺和舌下腺的正常大体和显微解剖。接下来的三章显示了病理标本的术中、大体和微观特征。其余23章按字母顺序涵盖了从腺泡细胞癌到Warthin瘤的23种良恶性唾液腺肿瘤。所有这些章节都有一个标准格式，对每个实体的人口特征进行描述，然后是对结构和细胞学特征的非常简短的描述。然后包括这些实体中每一个的 20 到 45 张显微照片，从低功率结构到高功率细胞学细节。在适用的情况下，还包括常用的免疫组织化学分析和荧光原位杂交 (FISH) 研究。这些章节中的每一章都以参考书目结束，其中包括针对这些实体中的每一个选择的最具开创性的研究。该图谱总体上对于参与护理唾液腺肿瘤患者的外科病理学家、耳鼻喉 (ENT) 外科医生和肿瘤学家来说非常方便和有用。文本非常简短和简洁。大部分插图都非常出色且构思巧妙。最新 (2016/2017) 世界卫生组织 (WHO) 唾液腺肿瘤分类 [1] 贯穿始终，参考书目是最新的。包含全文和显微照片的电子书可从 Springer 网站获得 PDF 和 EPUB 版本。章节的开头内容部分提供了超链接，每章开头的显微照片部分还有一个额外的超链接，便于导航。对于这个原本非常出色的地图集的下一版，作者可能需要考虑一些事情。FISH 研究的照片可以更好地注释以表明所涉及的不同标记。文本还可以扩展为包括唾液腺肿瘤的 A（结构）、B（双相）、C（细胞学）和 D 中的鉴别诊断 ('D')。在电子书版本中，超链接在索引部分和一些更重要的参考文献中也很有用。非肿瘤性和非上皮性切片（例如淋巴样病变）也将是有用的补充。总体而言，这是一个优秀且有用的图谱，可用于唾液腺肿瘤的日常评估，作者在揭开这一具有挑战性的外科病理学领域方面做得非常出色。非肿瘤性和非上皮性切片（例如淋巴样病变）也将是有用的补充。总体而言，这是一个优秀且有用的图谱，可用于唾液腺肿瘤的日常评估，作者在揭开这一具有挑战性的外科病理学领域方面做得非常出色。非肿瘤性和非上皮性切片（例如淋巴样病变）也将是有用的补充。总体而言，这是一个优秀且有用的图谱，可用于唾液腺肿瘤的日常评估，作者在揭开这一具有挑战性的外科病理学领域方面做得非常出色。
