For any physician involved with lung biopsies or lung specimens, this book is a must! Lavishly illustrated, meticulously referenced, with scholarly text and very clear pictures, you will be using it for years. I am a hematopatholgist without too much knowledge of lungs and often need help with lung specimens. This book is very good for that. Need pictures for education or conferences? This book is a wonderful resource. Good for pathologist and pulmonologists alike. It's expensive but as pathology books go these days, it's a good value.
I have a special interest in lung pathology and I really enjoy reading this book. It is concise, straight to the point and contains most of the useful information required to make a diagnosis. It is good for the beginner in the field as well as for the practicing pathologist who has questions on a specific subject.The only default is the adenocarcinoma classification is not up to date with the last ATS classification published in 2011.An excellent book to buy!
'Practical pulmonary pathology' is just that - the most practical pulmonary book I have found. I am a pathology resident and wanted a concise, well-documented, all-inclusive lung book - and this is it. I especially like the infectious disease and medical lung chapters. The pictures are really good and illustrative. Furthermore, this book is organized in such a way that it is easy to thumb through and look up particular entities. I am quite happy with it.
I have used this book about 6 months in conjunction with all the "other" pulmonary path books (including the WHO). On difficult cases, I find this text more than any other useful and practical but encyclopedic enough for my daily needs. It reads much better than the nonneoplastic AFIP book, and the concepts are much easier to apply. The tables are great, and I have used it for some IHC questions (although Immunoquery.com is another great and frequently updated resource). I have not seen the brand new Churg 3rd edition to compare, but for less than $300, you've got to have Wick on your shelf.
