Editorial Reviews
Review
What is beautiful about this book... is the widespread integration of theimaging and classic pathology of the same entity. Not only does one get a deep sense of the underlying causes of the familiar imaging findings,but one is also educated in virtually all aspects of the disease, in the bullet point format...Added to this, of course, just as with everyother disease, are the key areas to understand, such as the terminologyused; the etiology and pathogenesis; clinical issues/concerns, including treatment; imaging (which, by the nature of these books, is not theprimary focus); macroscopic pathology; microscopic pathology (the keypart); other valuable tests; and differential diagnosis from a pathologic point view. ...We see a number of clinical (ie, patient) images; so if you want to seewhat a gingival Kaposi sarcoma or a discord lupus looks like, you can. The book is full of such examples and makes studying each entity farmore interesting. Drs. Thompson, Wenig, Muller, and Nelson have done amagnificent job in putting all this material together, as have their 6contributing authors. Ten sections--Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinus;Pharynx; Larynx and Trachea; Oral Cavity; Salivay Glands; Jaw; Ear andTemporal Bone, Neck/Lymph (Nodes); Thyroid; and Parathyroid--encompassthe areas covered. For those who consult directly with neurosurgeons and head and neck surgeons or who attend their rounds or
participate intheir tumor boards, these books are invaluable. The histopathology, thedrawings, the charts, the descriptions, all are of the highest possibleeducational value. The book come with an eBook code that allows forsearchable items and duplicates enhanced images.
This may become one of the top resources forpathologists...Doody's Listings and ReviewsDescription
Thisis an update of an in-depth book on non-neoplastic, benign, and malignant headand neck lesions. The previous edition was published in 2011.
Purpose
Thepurpose is to provide a reference with reliable and updated information on allaspects of head and neck lesions, which the authors have done.
Audience
Itis intended primarily for pathologists and pathology residents in training. Theauthors and contributors are all pathologists, some of whom trained me. Thebook also may be used as a reference for a broad spectrum of medicalpractitioners including, but not limited to, head and neck surgeons,oncologists, and radiologists with an interest in head and neck disease.
Features
Thebook's more than 1,100 pages are organized into sections covering the nasalcavity and paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx and trachea, oral cavity,salivary glands, jaw, ear and temporal bone, neck, thyroid gland, andparathyroid glands. Each section begins with normal histology and anatomy ofthe site, followed by non-neoplastic lesions, benign neoplasms, and malignanttumors. The key facts and initial gallery of photographs enable the book's useas a quick reference. Different diseases are presented in a highly structuredand bulleted format that includes definitions, etiology, clinical anddemographic parameters, treatment and prognosis, imaging findings, pathologicalfeatures, ancillary studies, and differential diagnoses. The quality of mostgross and microscopic images is excellent. The book also has useful tables thatsummarize important immunohistochemical findings of different neoplasms. Theindex is user friendly.
Assessment
This may become one of the top resources for pathologists with an interest in head and neck lesions. Since the previous edition, new entities have been described and more molecular tests developed, and I washappy to see these discussed. The bulleted format makes the book user friendlyin a busy practice.
The graphics and schematic drawings are extraordinarily well done and will prove to be very helpful for teaching purposes. Thephotomicrographs are of excellent quality and at times the well-placed arrows helpto explain the points the authors are trying to convey. I personally appreciatethe discussion (again in bulleted format) in the differential diagnosis sectioninstead of just a list. This will be a great addition to departmental andpersonal libraries.

About the author
I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration (with an emphasis in Finance) at Washington Adventist University in 1984. I thoroughly enjoyed editing the school newspaper and year book and operated "Columbia Investors". I completed medical school at Loma Linda University in 1988 while teaching anatomy for the dental and physical therapy students. After an Orthopedic Surgery internship in 1989, I completed an Anatomic and Clinical Pathology Residency at University of California--Los Angeles in 1993. At UCLA, under the direct influence of Drs. Yao-Shi Fu and Dorothy Rosenthal, I developed a strong interest in head & neck pathology and in cytology. After doing advanced training in Cytopathology, I joined the United States Navy (CAPT, MC, USNR, now retired). With triple Board Certification in Pathology, I worked for nearly a decade at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (Washington, DC), developing a specific interest and expertise in pathology of the Head and Neck and Endocrine organs. During this time, I served as Chief of the Division of Otorhinolaryngic-Head & Neck Pathology, Chief of the Division of Immunopathology, and Assistant Chairman, Department of Scientific Laboratories. I have continued to enjoy research (over 260 papers), currently serving as the co-editor of Head and Neck Pathology. I also serve on the editorial boards of a number of peer reviewed scientific journals. I have authored and edited 9 textbook on topics in Head and Neck and Endocrine organ pathology, including work on the World Health Organization's books for Head and Neck and Endocrine Organs (both editions: 3rd and 4th). I thoroughly enjoy traveling, weight lifting, stained glass, cake decorating, SCUBA, making cufflinks and any time with my wife and cats!

- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2019Great book for head and neck pathology. It’s got the breadth of entities, yet able to hit the main points with few words. The pictures are also excellently annotated. However, some of the terminology is still “pre-WHO 2017” and hasn’t been updated accordingly. I would still give it a 5 star because it is that good. The inkling version contains more texts on certain chapters and also more images for every entity. I would highly recommend using the inkling version to maximise this book’s potential. The extra images and texts are indispensable.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2017This book is probably the best or one of the best reference books for head and neck pathology. I really like the format and the usefulness of the book. Is concise, precise and even include clinical data which helps to know and discuss the case with the clinician. I highly recommend getting it if you are a resident or an attending.
