This highly illustrated book explores various brain tumors’ pathological and radiological diagnoses. Featuring nearly 500 high-quality colored images, it covers MR images, intra-operative squash cytology, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry microphotographs of different brain and spine tumors, including differential diagnosis and the molecular diagnosis and prognosis of each cancer. The book also presents case studies of typical and rare presentations and introduces readers to a new procedure for intra-operative cytology: the modified fields stain, which stains the slide within 2 minutes, allowing quick, accurate reporting.

This book uses concise text and a consistent point-wise format that makes reading and reviewing easy. The radiological and pathological correlates of brain and spine tumors serve as a ready-reference resource for residents, surgical and neuropathologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, and research scientists.
