DTF newsletter September 2022
by Francisco A. Uzal Sept. 1, 2022

Sept. 1, 2022

Dear colleagues As the summer in the northern hemisphere comes to an end and the spring is about to start in the south, we are presenting you with yet another fantastic issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter. As always, the managing editors Jeann Leal and Javier Asin deserve our heart-felt thanks for their wonderful job in compiling this newsletter. In this issue you will find, as usual, lots of important information about the activities of your Foundation and more. Although most of the articles are in English, some notes are in Spanish or Portuguese; I hope, however that, as I have said before, if you speak "pathology" you will not have much trouble understanding the meaning of most of them. As an example, have a look at the outstanding "Archivo Veterinario del Este", a compilation of interesting cases prepared by Dr. Fernando Dutra in Uruguay; the images are superb! Last but not least, we are very sad to share with you news of the passing of Dr Severo Barros, a legend of Latin American pathology, who left an indelible mark on countless pathologists throughout the world. Please take a moment to peruse these pages and consider registering for one or more of the awesome training opportunities that the Foundation has to offer. Until next month Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl. ACVP Chief Executive Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation Ph: 951 751 0027 E-mail: fauzal(a)ucdavis.edu<mailto:fauzal@ucdavis.edu> www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<https://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org/> [https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1oticUQZYjDPU-1vMA4wHKvLb2SScHV-J]

Residency Training Position in Veterinary Anatomic Pathology - Louisiana State University An international group of pathologists that also welcome competitive and outstanding international candidates. Reviews of applications will start October 1st. The Department of Pathobiological Sciences and the Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (LADDL) at the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine (LSU-SVM) has two residency training positions available for a 3-year anatomic pathology residency program. The start date is July 1st, 2023. The individuals will join 3 other anatomic pathology residents, two clinical pathology residents, six anatomic pathologists, and two clinical pathologists. Anatomic pathology residents are trained in the recognition and interpretation of gross and histological lesions, molecular diagnostics, and integration of pathological and ancillary laboratory testing necessary for disease diagnosis. The program is designed to meet the training requirements to sit for the certification examination by the American College of Veterinary Pathologists. Training throughout the residency program is based on necropsy and surgical pathology submissions through the Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (LADDL) with wide exposure to companion, agricultural, wildlife, and zoo animals. In addition to engaging in the biopsy and necropsy case workup, resident learning is supplemented by core courses and specialty rounds, and residents are expected to participate in teaching and attend departmental seminars. Opportunities exist for post-residency graduate research training and preference may be given to those applicants wishing to pursue graduate training after completion of the residency. Areas of active research within the department and school include cellular and molecular biology, infectious diseases, vector-borne diseases, and aquatic pathobiology. Dedicated, on-site core facilities at LSU-SVM include flow cytometry, cell culture, animal resources (housing, surgery, BL-3 suites, whole rodent imaging), molecular biology (microarray spotting and analysis, real time PCR, and DNA and RNA synthesis and analysis systems), proteomics, microscopy (scanning and transmission electron microscopy, laser microdissection, laser confocal, and fluorescence) and vector development units (adenovirus, herpesvirus, and retrovirus). Additional graduate training is available through the Pennington Biomedical Research Center ( www.pbrc.edu <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fl.faceboo…>) and the Tulane National Primate Research Center (www.tnprc.tulane.edu <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fl.faceboo…> ). Applicants should indicate in their application whether they also intend to pursue a graduate degree and, if so, what their potential general areas of research interest are. A DVM or equivalent degree is required. A strong academic record, excellent interpersonal skills and a strong interest in veterinary pathology, are required. Candidate selection will be based on the applicant’s academic record, experience, recommendations, and evidence of a commitment to a career in veterinary pathology.

Anatomic pathology faculty position at the Univ. of Wisconsin
by Bruce Williams May 6, 2022

May 6, 2022

Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Anatomic Pathology University of Wisconsin-Madison The Department of Pathobiological Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison, School of Veterinary Medicine, is seeking candidates for a *clinical*-, *teaching*-, or *tenure-track* anatomic pathology faculty position. Across all positions, there is a 60% expected effort for clinical diagnostic biopsy and necropsy service/clinical teaching, with variable percentage distributions for teaching pre-clinical veterinary students (e.g. 2nd-year pathology courses), collaborative research, and academic service responsibilities. The clinical- and teaching-track positions are open for applicants at all levels (assistant, associate, and full professors), but due to the significant clinical service component (60% effort), the tenure track-position accepts applicants for the associate and full professor levels only. The minimum requirements for the selected candidate include a DVM or equivalent, ACVP or ECVP board certification, and licensure or eligibility for licensure in Wisconsin. Two years of post-residency experience in diagnostic anatomic pathology, research experience and/or a PhD, as well as a demonstrated strong interest and experience in training pathology residents are preferred but not required. The successful candidate will join 4 other board-certified anatomic pathology faculty on the Anatomic Pathology Service in the Pathology Section. The service primarily provides biopsy and necropsy services to the UW Veterinary Care hospital, and is tasked with training 4 anatomic pathology residents, veterinary students on clinical year necropsy rotations, and pre-clinical veterinary students in systemic pathology courses. While the anatomic pathology service primarily provides biopsy and necropsy services for patients of the UWVC hospital, we also receive a significant number of cases from the Milwaukee County Zoo, smaller numbers of cases from the International Crane Foundation, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and external referral clinics, as well as frequently interact and consult with members of The Comparative Ocular Pathology Laboratory of Wisconsin (COPLOW). The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated commitment to clinical teaching and mentorship excellence, with special regard for training anatomic pathology residents. The individual will be expected to participate, and demonstrate leadership and innovation, in the didactic components of resident training. In addition to resident mentorship, the selected individual will significantly contribute to the professional veterinary student instructional program, with the option to contribute to other courses in the veterinary medical, undergraduate, or graduate student curricula. Experience working with, mentoring, or teaching diverse groups is preferred; and the candidate should have the ability to contribute to fostering and furthering diversity of the campus, curriculum, and discipline. The successful candidate will also be expected to develop an active scholarly program. For an individual on the clinical track, this could include advancing the discipline of anatomic pathology through creation and dissemination of new knowledge and participating in collaborative research by providing expertise to clinical research (case reports, translational research), or basic science animal-based research conducted by faculty. The Department of Pathobiological Sciences is also home to numerous basic, applied, and clinical research programs in a wide array of disciplines, including immunology, parasitology, bacteriology, virology, epidemiology, and public health. Outstanding collaborative research opportunities exist within the Department, other departments in the School of Veterinary Medicine, and throughout the University, including the Wisconsin Institutes of Medical Research (WIMR), the School of Medicine and Public Health, and the Milwaukee County Zoo. The University of Wisconsin–Madison fulfills its public mission by creating and welcoming an inclusive community for people from every background — people who as students, faculty, and staff serve Wisconsin and the world. We recognize diversity as a source of strength, creativity, and innovation for UW-Madison. Our campus culture is one of collaboration and collegiality where the contributions of each person are valued and respected and where excellence in teaching, research, outreach, and diversity are inextricably linked goals, thereby providing an enriching environment for an academic career. The University of Wisconsin–Madison considers its School of Veterinary Medicine to be a major factor in the overall success as a top ten university in terms of awarded federal funding. The School of Veterinary Medicine is also a major factor in Madison’s emergence as a hub of commercial biotechnology.

Davis-Thompson Foundation May newsletter
by Francisco A. Uzal May 1, 2022

May 1, 2022

Dear colleagues Welcome to the April issue of the Davis/Thompson Foundation Newsletter, prepared by our fantastic Managing Editors Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. Stephanie Shrader, who was a Managing Editor until last month, had to step down (we hope only temporarily!) from her role of editor, for personal reasons. For many issues, Stephanie has done an outstanding job and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts. Of prime importance in this month's issue, is the announcement by our President, Jey Koehler, about the Big 4 courses of the Foundation: General Pathology, Descriptive Veterinary Pathology, Current Literature and Image Interpretation (CLIIC; formerly the "Gross Course") and POLA. This year, they will be exclusively virtual. Please keep in mind that will be the last year using this modality, as we hope to go back to fully (and only) in person in 2023 and moving forward for the Big 4. We will continue, however, offering several other virtual training opportunities in the future. A last minute announcement is the Latin-American Road Show, an initiative recently created by the Foundation, which will include two full days of lectures in four countries. This year, we were fortunate to engage Dr Alfonso Lopez Mayagoitia (UPEI, Canada), who will travelling in October to Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and Colombia to present in person his lectures on Re[1]spiratory Pathology of Domestic Animals. This is an enormous effort by the Foundation and our outstanding speaker, and will bring much needed training opportunities to the continent. The Road Show will be repeated annually in different countries. More information and registration instructions will be available very soon. Last but not least, this issue comes, as always, loaded with an enormous amount of information on training opportunities all over the world and in a number of different languages. Enjoy!

Big news about the "Big 4" courses!
by Jey Koehler April 28, 2022

April 28, 2022

Hello Foundation friends and supporters, this email will be a little long but please stick with it. Nobody needs to be reminded that this has been a weird couple of years. When we decided to offer a hybrid version of the Descriptive course at Auburn University, we knew it was experimental. Unfortunately, 5 weeks out we have zero registrations for in-person, likely for a lot of reasons including that airfares have gone sky high (groan) and availability is more limited. Many folks are still a little hesitant to travel, and we get that. So, we have some good news and some bad news. I'm a "worst first", rip-the-bandaid-off kind of person, so the BAD news is that we've decided to pull the plug on hybrid and go back to virtual only. Whomp-whomp. We say "bad" because the in-person experience is far superior in that it offers trainees a chance to get away from all of their work and home responsibilities and immerse themselves fully in their education, as well as meet instructors and fellow trainees face-to-face and form lifelong connections. Humans are social creatures, and virtual meetings are not great for helping us form real bonds with each other. People tend to delude themselves that they can multi-task as well as they can single-task, but science says this is a lie (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32206165/) and for that reason the educational experience suffers when people try to wedge courses in amongst other things (so tempting with virtual). OK, the GOOD news is that because we won't have the overhead of speaker travel/housing/meals/catering/room rental, we are rolling prices back to last year's! You know we love you, this is YOUR Foundation, and if we don't have those expenses, we certainly aren't going to pass that added cost on to you. If you have already registered, you will be receiving a refund of the difference between what you paid and the reduced rate, and you should already have gotten an email from Bruce. For those who have yet to register, you can use the same link listed on the website but you will see only four options: member "live", non-member "live", member "rebroadcast", and non-member "rebroadcast". Pro tip: ask your residency coordinator if your institution is a member! (most US vet schools are) Remember that rebroadcast is only the lectures, not any of the mock tests or breakout sessions. Next year, provided things don't get weirder and airfares come back to reality, we will be going back to IN-PERSON ONLY for the Descriptive, CLIIC, and POLA courses because we strongly believe in the power and value of that experience. But never fear, we will be putting on in-person Descriptive courses in Europe and multiple places in Latin America (stay tuned for information!). So soak up the pajama-wearing virtual experience while you can, and we look forward to "seeing" you virtually for one more year. Jey Koehler, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVP Auburn University Department of Pathobiology President, Davis-Thompson Foundation www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<http://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org/> [cid:image001.png@01D85AF7.03892090]

Important update on the "Big 4" courses!
by Jey Koehler April 7, 2022

April 7, 2022

Dear Foundation members and supporters, Those of you who are mentoring the next generation of pathologists in training programs will soon notice that tuition for three of our "big four" courses (Descriptive, CLIIC [formerly the gross course], and POLA) has increased compared to 2020 and 2021. We wanted to make sure that everyone understands exactly why this is the case. Prior to the pandemic, tuition for these courses was at about $650. This helped to defray the significant costs related to speaker travel, lodging, and meals, as well as things like facility rental, coffee and snacks for breaks, and fees associated with applying for RACE credits. In addition, these courses provided the bulk of funding for our mission in areas of the world that have fewer economic resources. When travel shut down world-wide, we quickly pivoted to a virtual platform, and have provided hundreds of hours of free or low-cost virtual CE via Zoom as well as put up many years' worth of outstanding free material on our YouTube channel. We also overhauled our entire website and enhanced free tools like Noah's Arkive and scanned slides, all of which requires greatly increased server space and cloud storage. Needless to say, all of this adds up to a significant commitment of resources from the Foundation. This year, we are moving to a hybrid format for these three courses, because while we firmly believe that the in-person experience is very valuable, we also understand that not everyone will be able to travel, for various reasons. This means that we will have all the expenses of an in-person course, plus all the expenses and challenge of a virtual course. But, hey, you're worth it! It seemed unfair to us to put all these expenses only onto those who are attending in-person, so we decided to spread it out. The result is that even for in-person attendees, tuition is still $100 lower than it was pre-pandemic! A bargain for sure for the many (and believe me, I mean MANY) hours that our dedicated lecturers and course directors put into making these courses so great. In closing, we want to offer a gentle reminder that the Foundation is a registered non-profit organization that is 100% volunteer driven, and 100% of the revenue generated by these courses pays for our mission globally. Thank you for your continued support as we grow, adapt, and work tirelessly to make high quality veterinary and comparative pathology education available for all. Be sure to check the website events calendar frequently and follow us on social media for timely updates on upcoming in-person and virtual courses, day seminars, and lectures, and follow the blog and the newsletter for more in-depth news about Foundation activities. Yours in service, Jey Koehler, President Paco Uzal, CEO Bruce Williams, CFO Jey Koehler, DVM, PhD, Dipl.

Fwd: can you forward an announcement about a glomerular disease (clinical and pathology) meeting in April to the Davis Thompson Foundation?
by Bruce Williams March 5, 2022

March 5, 2022

From our good friend who is all things kidney, and one of our speakers in our upcoming Day seminar on feline pathology on March 15th, Dr. Rachel Cianciolo: ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Cianciolo, Rachel E. <cianciolo.14(a)osu.edu> Hi all I am happy to announce that there will be a Glomerular Disease Summit (itinerary attached) that will precede the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) national meeting in Boston April 4 and 5th. The meeting is sponsored by COHA (which is the CTSA One Health Alliance), and CTSA stands for Clinical and Translational Science Award. The summit will feature both lectures from pathologists and clinicians, physicians and veterinarians. The goal is to have 40 to 50 attendees at this pre-meeting summit (both vets and physicians). There will be opportunities for abstract submission and online publication in the journal Glomerular Disease through Karger publications. I know this is late notice, since the meeting is in April, but I believe this will be an excellent networking and educational opportunity. Additionally, there will be discussions at round tables for planning future research projects that can improve the diagnostics and treatments of our veterinary patients, as well as educate physicians about the potential for using our cases as examples of spontaneous models of human glomerular diseases. The link for registration is: https://uwmadison.eventsair.com/gnsatellite/reg22 <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://uwmadison.eventsair.com/gnsatellite/reg…> . As mentioned above, this Summit is coordinated with the NKF meeting (information below). You do not need to attend that meeting in order to participate in the pre-meeting summit. Unfortunately, at this time, the cost of live streaming the meeting is prohibitive so that will not be an option. It has been fairly difficult to plan this summit with the COVID uncertainties, but we have reached a timepoint where changing the format of NKF to an all-virtual meeting is highly unlikely and that allowed us to book the meeting space etc. <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.kidney.org/spring-clinical__;!!KGKe…> NKF Spring Clinical Meetings - National Kidney Foundation <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.kidney.org/spring-clinical__;!!KGKe…> SCM presents a unique opportunity for busy renal health care providers to learn new developments related to all aspects of nephrology. It is designed for nephrologists in the private sector and academia, fellows and residents with a special interest in kidney disease, general internists, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses and technicians, social workers, renal and ... www.kidney.org <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.kidney.org__;!!KGKeukY!kzLAXTo-PGlNt…> Thank you Rachel Cianciolo, VMD PhD DACVP Co-Director, International Veterinary Renal Pathology Service

Archivo Veterinario del Este - 2021

March 3, 2022

Dear colleagues Attached is a document with a summary (and great photos!!!!) of diseases that occurred in the Eastern part of Uruguay, put together annually by Dr Fernando Dutra Quintela. Dr Quintela is an incredibly experienced and detailed-oriented pathologist, and a Latin American pathology legend!. He is currently the Head of the Laboratorio Regional Este de DILAVE “Miguel C Rubino”, Uruguay. Dr Quintela has been putting together this summary uninterruptedly for 12 years and although over the past few years we shared it with the Spanish speaking colleagues through the Latin Comparative Pathology Group, we decided that this jewel is simply “too good” not to share it with the rest of the world, so here you are. The document is in Spanish, but as Dr Bruce Williams well put it: “it is fantastic how pathology transcends any language barrier”. Enjoy Paco Uzal Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

Comparative Pathologist Penn Vet Comparative Pathology Core, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, USA Job Description: The Penn Vet Comparative Pathology Core (CPC) at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine, invites applications for a research fellow position in experimental and comparative pathology. The CPC is an established core facility within the Department of Pathobiology and a fully integrated shared resource within the NIH/NCI-funded Abramson Cancer Center since 2015. The main objective of the CPC is to provide expert pathological characterization of experimental animal models to fulfill the growing needs of the local biomedical community performing in vivo studies as part of their basic and translational research endeavors. In this context, the CPC plays a vital role as it supports several major research programs within the University of Pennsylvania and closely related institutes such as the Abramson Cancer Center, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Wistar Institute. To accomplish its mission, the CPC offers the expertise of board-certified veterinary pathologists and access to a state-of-the-art platform for histology services, molecular staining of tissue samples, and digital pathology. This position will primarily contribute to the mission of the CPC by providing expertise in experimental and comparative pathology. Main responsibilities and duties include: • Expert interpretation of pathological endpoints in the context of diverse preclinical/experimental settings with accurate and timely reporting of pathological findings. While humanized and genetically engineered mice represent the majority of the caseload, studies using rats, dogs, non-human primates, sheep, and pigs are also frequently performed. • Interaction with scientists and investigators to design experiments, discuss results and plan follow-up studies as pertain to the specific research context. • Provide guidance to investigators, students, and laboratory technicians in all those activities and techniques related to comparative pathology (e.g., necropsy, sample preparation, development of multiparametric histopathological scoring system, digital image analysis, etc.). • Contribute to the general management and supervision of routine laboratory activities/services. • Contribute to the teaching/training of veterinary pathology residents and veterinary students rotating with the CPC. This position represents a unique opportunity for candidates who want to deepen their understanding of comparative pathology applied to the most innovative aspects of translational research including the study of in vivo models for cellular therapies (e.g., CAR T cells and stem cells). While the primary role of this position is to support the service activities of the CPC, the program offers ample opportunity to carry out independent projects focused on developing accurate clinicopathological strategies to assess the phenotype of new and existing experimental animal models Qualifications: Applicants should have a DVM/VMD and be board-eligible or board-certified in Anatomic Pathology by the American, European, or Japanese College of Veterinary Pathologists; experience with rodent pathology and digital image analysis is desirable. The salary will be commensurate with the applicant’s qualifications, training, and experience. The application deadline is June 4, 2022, or until the position is filled.

In Memoriam: Dr. Gordon Charles Hard (1931-2021)
by Bruce Williams Dec. 7, 2021

Dec. 7, 2021

In Memoriam: Dr. Gordon Charles Hard (1931-2021) Dr. Gordon Hard, of Tairua, New Zealand, a preeminent international toxicology thought leader and international consultant in toxicologic pathology of the kidney, passed on November 22, 2021. He was a key player in shaping and developing the global field of toxicologic pathology and the role of toxicologic pathology in risk assessment of environmental chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Gordon was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1931. Dr. Hard received a BSc from the University of Auckland in 1955 and a Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 1959 from the University of Sydney (Australia). He then practiced veterinary medicine as Chief Veterinarian in the rural districts of Taihape and Raetihi in New Zealand. A moment of epiphany occurred when, after working all day and night, he crashed his car on a mountainous road and, in recovery, decided to go into pathology. After receiving his PhD from The University of Sydney in 1968 and later a DSc from the University of Melbourne (Australia) in 1978, Dr. Hard worked with Professor Peter Magee in renal cancer research at the Fels Institute of Research at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia where he was appointed as Professor. Thus began his specialization in renal carcinogenesis and chemical injury, beginning with several seminal papers about the nitroso compounds. He then became Head of Carcinogenesis Research at the University of New South Wales (Australia) and later Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the British Industrial Biological Research Association (BIBRA), Carshalton, Surrey, UK. Subsequently he served as Director of the American Health Foundation in Valhalla, New York, USA. He continued his research in renal toxicologic pathology, including consulting, while in those administrative roles. After stepping down from research leadership roles, which some would call retirement, he became a widely sought after renal pathology consultant to the pharmaceutical, chemical, consumer product and government organizations in North America, Europe and Japan. He published hundreds of scientific articles and many chapters, and also presented at a wide variety of meetings and venues, including teaching kidney pathology to future generations of toxicologic pathologists. Numerous awards attest to Dr. Hard’s valuable scientific contributions, including an Honorary Membership in the American College of Veterinary Pathologists in 2005 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Toxicologic Pathology in 2017. He served as Editor-in-Chief of Toxicologic Pathology, Founding Editor in Chief for Toxicology in Vitro, and Editor in Chief for Food & Chemical Toxicology. He was also a Fellow of the Academy of Toxicological Sciences and the Royal College of Pathologists (London), and was awarded the DVSc from the University of Sydney for his research contributions. Dr. Hard was multitalented, in his early years playing college soccer (University of Sydney) and semiprofessional soccer (Melbourne InterVarsity Football) in Australia. He had a love of music throughout his career, playing the keyboard for house guests. He snow skied every year well into his seventh decade. In a multifamily ski outing in Nevada, Gordon had everyone listen to his favorite “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba, his favorite song. He was a student of nature with the ability to identify myriad plant and animal species. He particularly liked hosting visitors to his home in Tairua, with its spectacular views of the ocean, beaches, and mountains. He and his wife, Ruth, served as guides for many to the north island of New Zealand, educating the visitors about the history, nature, and beauty of his homeland for which he had great pride and many stories. Dr. Hard is survived by his wife Ruth, daughter Cassandra Hard (Wentworth Falls, Australia) and sons Dr. James (Jake) J. Hard (Caerphilly, Wales), Nicolas (Nic) J.C. Hard (Benidoleig, Spain), 6 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. He had dual citizenship in Australia/New Zealand, with resident status in the United States. We have lost a pillar of the renal toxicology/pathology community and a gentleman and scholar in society. Samuel M. Cohen, Wanda M.

Tumors of Bone, Cartilage, and Hard Tissues now available in Foundation Bookstore!
by Bruce Williams Nov. 9, 2021

Nov. 9, 2021

It has arrived! Welcome the 4th volume of “Surgical Pathology of Tumors of Domestic Animals. Tumors of Bones, Cartilage and Other Hard Tissues.” The 4th volume of “Surgical Pathology of Tumors of Domestic Animals” covers tumors of bone, cartilage and other hard tissues, specifically odontogenic tumors and tumors of the mandible. Included are osseous, cartilaginous, and notochordal tumors, as well as non-osteogenic, non-chondrogenic tumors of bone and tumor-like lesions of bone and extraskeletal chondro-osseous tumors. While odontogenic tumors have historically been included with tumors of the alimentary tract, these tumors were also included in this 4th volume together with other tumors and tumor-like lesions of the mandible to provide surgical pathologists with a better comparative view of similar entities. Bone is a highly dynamic tissue, and any type of mass effect will result in alteration of the normal architecture. Correctly interpreting such reparative processes and to differentiate them from the primary disease can be challenging. The ability to interpret microscopic findings in conjunction with the various types of diagnostic imaging is often essential to reach an accurate diagnosis. This volume, therefore, integrates characteristic radiographic findings into surgical pathology of tumors of bone, cartilage and other hard tissues. As in previous volumes, dedicated chapters will review the structure and development of the tissues covered in this volume, immunohistochemistry and grading and reporting of specific tumor entities. Special chapters have been committed to the trimming and decalcification of bone and teeth as both steps are essential in providing high quality sections for microscopic interpretation.
