Tumors and Cysts of the Jaws (Hardcover, 16th)

This presentation of tumors and cysts of the mandible and maxilla discusses 71 separate pathologic entities. The authors, three pathologists with extensive experience in the interpretation of jaw lesions, have utilized 353 radiographs, photomicrographs, and sketches to illustrate the wide range and scope of bone pathology within this unique part of the skeletal system. Normal embryogenesis and development of the jaws and dentition, histology of odontogenesis, and classification of tumors and cysts are covered. A comprehensive and broad array of benign, malignant, and dysplastic lesions includes odontogenic, nonodontogenic, and fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws. Representative plain radiographs, computerized tomographic images, and color photomicrographs form the basis for clinicopathologic correlation. Routine diagnostic procedures and stains are stressed as the basis for establishment of a definitive diagnosis. As a result, this volume will be an essential resource for pathologists, radiologists, and clinicians charged with establishing a diagnosis and treatment plan for patients with tumors and cysts of the jaws.
