The Pocket Guide to Diagnostic Hematopathology is designed not as a comprehensive textbook, but instead as a short practical guide to the diagnosis of neoplastic and non- neoplastic diseases of blood, bone marrow, and lymphoid tissues. Major diagnostic features of each disease entity are outlined in a single page of text and accompanied by a single figure page. This simple format was chosen to provide essential info
