Head and neck pathology is defined here as including all structures contained in the area "from the level of the clavicles to the sella turcica." Barnes (U. of Pittsburgh School of Medicine) has tried in this three-volume set to condense the vast literature on head and neck pathology scattered throughout numerous specialty books and journals. The second edition, published 15 years after the first edition, contains five new chapters that cover molecular biology, fine-needle aspiration, vesiculobullous diseases, neck dissections, and radiation. This edition also features 30 articles by 15 contributors, and has been reformatted for easier access to specific information. The general index accompanies each volume of the set. Annotation c.
