Description: Provides an all-in-one reference for diagnosing diseases of the airway. The text offers a case-based review of the radiologic, bronchoscopic, and pathologic findings for the full range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders-both common and uncommon. For each disease, it includes a case-based discussion, an anatomical black and white drawing for orientation, two black and white radiographs, two color bronchoscopic views, and a discussion of incidence, treatment, and prognosis. * Features bronchoscopic, radiologic, and pathologic views of each disease to facilitate more accurate diagnoses. * Provides a full work-up of each disease examined-from medical history, current presentation, and diagnosis...through incidence, etiology, clinical presentation, and treatment. * Covers a full range of conditions, including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma, carcinoids, lipomas, mucoepidermoids, and hamartomas, tracheomalacia, Wegener's granulomatosis, Herpes papillomatosis, Klebsiella rhinoscleroma, tracheopatria osteoplastica, amyloidosis, and Crohn's disease. * The CD-ROM features a video-based introduction to 16 invasive pulmonary procedures, including thoracentesis, pleural biopsy, rigid bronchoscopy with YAG laser therapy, and percutaneous dilational thracheostomy.
