First sentence: LET'S START THE PROVERBIAL good news/bad news dilemma: The bad news is that modern neuroimaging and neurosurgical techniques have resulted in an increasing number of intraoperative consultations on ever smaller samples of tissue.
Description: Prayson (anatomic pathology, Cleveland Clinic Foundation) and Cohen (pathology, Case Western Reserve U.) present a guide to the more commonly encountered diagnostic problems in surgical neuropathology. They focus on the differential diagnosis of the most common neuropathological entities encountered by general surgical pathologists. Information is provided on how to work with very small amounts of tissues, decide difficult situations where everything looks the same, and cope with inoperative calculations when time is short and sample preparations are less than ideal.
