book. Nevertheless, the authors, editors, and publisher are not responsible for errors or omissions or for any consequences
from application of the information in this book and make no warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to the contents

check whether the dosage schedules mentioned therein or the contraindications stated by the manufacturer differ from the
statements made in this book. Such examination is particularly important with drugs that are either rarely used or have been newly released on the market. This book is a visually rich resource for pathologists who encounter the field of bone and soft tissue lesions. The traditional histologic pictures are supplemented with numerous illustrations of imaging findings, cytology, and molecular and cytogenetic information. Unlike a traditional textbook, this book provides a pictorial survey arranged in a pattern oriented approach, similar to the working method used in actual daily practice. Original artwork illustrating the molecular underpinnings of sarcomagenesis provide a valuable introduction to this complex area and are an especially useful feature. The authors of this work are both expert surgical and cytopathologists that actively practice in multidisciplinary sarcoma centers and are experienced teachers in this complex field of diagnostic pathology.
