Customer Rating:  
Summary: Excellent presentation of the basics; No thyroid/parathyroid pathology
Comment: I am a general anatomic/clinical pathologist with 20 years experience in a small community hospital with a heavy ENT service. I found the format, photographs, tables, and charts to be excellent and exceeding my expectations. The presentation of "Fact Sheets" and "Pathologic Features" is concise, easy to find, and is very useful when there is a need for rapid retrieval of information (e.g. when you are alone on a late Friday afternoon with a difficult frozen section or you need to answer a surgeons question over the phone).
There is a glaring lack of information on thyroid and parathyroid pathology. I suppose that these areas were considered best left to endocrine texts, but I found this very disappointing, especially given the controversies and difficulties in this area (last time I checked these organs are most often found in the neck). There are other gaps. For example: Squamous dysplasia is not covered in depth and there is no separation into keratinizing and non-keratinizing types. There is no discussion concerning invasive SCC often arising directly from mild keratinzing dysplasia, especially in the oral cavity. I found no information on thyroglossal duct cyst. I do not remember specifics of other abscences, but over time I found myself passing this book over and reaching for other sources on difficult cases. The times when I came back to this book I found it most often lacked any additional information.
One of my big complaints about textbooks is the irritating habit of failing to cross reference items in the index and the numerous abscences of key words in the listing. This one is no exception. For instance Mixed tumor and dysplasia are not listed. Instead of dysplasia there is a listing of "precursor squamous leisions of larynx/hypopharynx/trachea" - no mention of oral cavity. Look up Warthin tumor and you find "See Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum" with no page listing - how much more trouble and paper would it take to give a page number and save the reader a bit of time and trouble ? Do editor's/publishers ever use their books or do focus groups ? Are you listening Elsevier ?
I believe the goal of providing a foundation was accomplished and I would recommend this book as a basic text for residents and as a part of a practicing pathologists library. It is inadequate as a comprehensive specialty textbook, especially for those with a large volume of ENT cases. Compared to other books in this area it is highly cost effective.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Some good material, but not comprehensive
Comment: As is becoming typical for this series, this is a nice book with fine photo illustrations but falls somewhat short due to its brevity. Better than the typical chapter in a multiauthored general pathology textbook, but not as comprehensive of a typical textbook or as useful as the AFIP fascicles.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent resource for surgical pathology
Comment: This book includes all of the important information needed for the surgical pathologist dealing with Head and Neck specimens. Very logically presented along with great photographs. Another great book in the series.
