In this thoroughly revised and updated second edition, the emphasis remains on providing a practical and up-to-date guide for the practicing pathologist when evaluating peripheral blood, bone marrow, and lymph node specimens from pediatric patients. Over 400 high-quality color figures enhance the understanding of the morphology and immunophenotypic features of benign and neoplastic hematologic disorders in children. The text also highlights the use of ancillary studies – such as flow cytometry and molecular techniques – in the diagnosis and post-therapy monitoring of pediatric hematologic malignancies. The importance of understanding of normal development of the hematopoietic system as well as the unique diagnostic features of benign and malignant hematologic disorders in children is retained, with chapters authored by experienced pediatric hematopathologists and clinical scientists drawn from major children's hospitals across the USA, Europe, and Africa. The print book comes with access to the text and expandable figures online at Cambridge Core, which can be accessed via a code printed inside the book.
