Sinopsis

During the two decades since the publication of the first edition of Histological Typing of Bone Tumours, new methods of diagnosis, es pecially radiological imaging techniques (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging), associated with advances in the new cytomorphological methods including immunohistochemistry, DNA ploidy analysis, cytogenetic chromosomal investigation, etc., have greatly improved our diagnostic tools and treatment results. These advances are reflected by the publication of new editions of various important textbooks in recent years. In these publications classifica tion criteria differed. In contrast, the WHO classification has been relatively unaltered, and has introduced a limited number of new entities and subdivided others because of distinct histological features and biological be haviour. In general the framework and the concept of the original classifi cation, as it has been widely accepted, remains essentially unchanged. The classification is based on the line of histological differentiation, in many instances reflecting the type of intercellular matrix material produced. This approach is justified because it avoids theoretical his togenetic controversies.

Reseña del editor

This new edition reflects advances in the diagnosis and classification of bone tumours made over the 20 years since the first edition appeared. Although still based on routine light microscopy, the revised classificationbenefits from immunohistochemical and molecular biological findings. It discusses new entities, such as intraosseous well differentiated osteosarcoma, round-cell osteosarcoma, and clear-cell chondrosarcoma. It deals with the difficulties of diagnosis within the group of malignant roundcell tumours, such as the distinction between Ewing sarcoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumour of bone. These changes update the classification to facilitate the comparison of data both nationally and internationally.
