High-Yield Histopathology reviews the relationships of basic histology to the pathology, physiology, and pharmacology of clinical conditions that are tested on the USMLE Step 1 and seen in clinical practice. The book includes case studies that prepare students for the clinical vignette questions on the USMLE Step 1 along with numerous illustrations, clinical images, and tables for reference and study. This edition includes additional information on male and female tumours and breast cancer, new images of clinical conditions, and several new tables, line drawings, and graphs. The figure legends and text are more succinct, and the Clinical Considerations sections are more consistently organized - characteristics, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
