"…written by three internationally recognized experts who bring together the essential features of both reactive and neoplastic lesions of lymph nodes… The chapters are well proportioned with succinct, lucid and reader-friendly text. The lesions are generously illustrated and all the photographs (H&E, immunostains and electron micrographs) are of superb quality."
