Books about Hematopathology and Hematology Many books relating to hematopathology and hematology are available. The following are just a few: Pathology and Genetics of Tumors of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues (a WHO Blue Book). The best book of all. A fantastically concise, authoritative, well-illustrated, and inexpensive compendium of all the hematolymphoid tumors known to humankind. Neoplastic Hematopathology, by Daniel Knowles. An encyclopedic, outstanding source, from a pathology viewpoint. Excellent chapters on white cell antigens (such as are assayed by flow cytometry) and leukemia cytochemistries. Getting a little old (2001). Blood: Principles and Practice of Hematology, by Robert Handin et al.; Hematology: Basic Principles and Practice, by Ronald Hoffman et al.; and Williams Hematology, by Ernest Beutler et al. All 3 are encyclopedic sources for all things hematologic. Emphasis is clinical, not pathological. Bone Marrow Pathology, by Kathryn Foucar. This is a big, bonny book, beautifully illustrated, fairly exhaustive, and clearly written. It includes non-neoplastic aspects of the subject. Flow Cytometry in Clinical Diagnosis, by David Keren et al. and Flow Cytometry in Hematopathology, by Nguyen et al.: two good books on a very important ancillary technique. Neoplastic Diseases of the Blood, by Peter Wiernik et al. A thick book on leukemias and lymphomas, largely from a clinical viewpoint. There is a relative dearth of good, up-to-date reference books focusing soley on lymph nodes. Two that might be useful are: Atlas of Lymphoid Hyperplasia and Lymphoma, by Ferry and Harris. Ioachim's Lymph Node Pathology, by Ioachim and Ratech. It's best feature is its deep coverage of reactive lymph node pathology. Tutorial TOC
