Histological Typing of Gastric and Oesophageal Tumours (International Histological Classification of Tumours No. 18)

This volume is the latest in a series of tumor classifications published by the World Health Organization. The previous 11 volumes were concerned with basic organ systems, such as the lungs, the breasts, the ovaries, the bladder, and the thyroid. Many are accepted as standard classifications by general pathologists for these organ systems were formulated in these volumes, and I have little doubt that pathologists will probably incorporate many of the concepts in this volume. The classification divides skin tumors into five main categories: epithelial tumors and tumor-like conditions, precancerous lesions and conditions, tumors and lesions of the melanocytic system, soft tissue tumors and tumor-like lesions, and tumors and tumor-like conditions of the hematopoietic and lymphoid "tissues" After a section of definitions and explanatory notes for each of these tumors can be found 176 half-page color illustrations, the quality of which is well above average. Also available is an alphabetical

The clinical manifestations, histological typing, location and results of surgical and oncological treatment in 76 children with intracranial tumors presenting during the first 2 years of life are reported from the Hopital Neurologique et Neurochirurgical Pierre Wertheimer, Service de Neurochirurgie Infantile, BP Lyon Montchat, Lyon, France.

This is the tenth of the second series of fascicles published by The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and edited by Harlan I. Firminger, MD. Dr. Thackray is Professor of Morbid Histology, The Middlesex Hospital Medical School, London; Dr. Lucas is Professor of Oral Pathology, The School of Dental Surgery, London; and Dr. Firminger is Professor of Pathology, The University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland. As Dr. Firminger states, "the second series of the Atlas of Tumor Pathology is not intended as a second edition of the first Atlas." The work of Drs. Foote and Frazell in the first fascicle of Tumors of the Major Salivary Glands , published in 1954, will remain a classic. However, in recent years, the World Health Organization has sponsored publication of new nomenclature and classification for histological typing of salivary gland tumors. For instance, the mixed tumor is now referred to as the

This book presents one volume in the series of international histologic classification of tumors and is the outcome of work carried out by the World Health Organization Center at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, DC. This group, under the chairmanship of Dr Lorenz Zimmerman, consisted of pathologists and ophthalmologists from 13 countries. More than 500 cases were reviewed and typed. The book now presents a logical classification followed by concise definitions and some explanatory notes. Most valuable are the 150 color photomicrographs that should be of great help in identifying specific tumors of the eye and the adnexa. The book covers not only neoplasms, but also certain nonneoplastic-related lesions and the phakomatoses. This book should be of help to anybody who only occasionally sees neoplasms of the eye and its adnexa. The standardized nomenclature should go a long way in facilitating communications among scientists working in this
