Closely mirroring the daily sign-out process, Atlas of Gastrointestinal Pathology: A Pattern-Based Approach to Non-Neoplastic Biopsies, 2nd Edition, by Drs. Maryam Pezhouh and Meredith Pittman, is a highly illustrated, efficient guide to accurate diagnosis. This practical reference uses a proven, pattern-based approach to clearly explain how to interpret challenging cases by highlighting red flags in the clinical chart and locating hidden clues in the slides. Useful as a daily “scope-side guide,” it features numerous clinical and educational features that help you find pertinent information, reach a correct diagnosis, and assemble a thorough and streamlined pathology report.   A companion volume for Atlas of Gastrointestinal Pathology is also available and focuses on neoplastic conditions.

• More than 1,000 high-quality, full-color images illustrate the full morphologic spectrum of the major patterns of non-neoplastic GI tract pathology, providing abundant and varied examples of each diagnosis.
