Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).

Description
**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Pathology**Offering comprehensive yet practical coverage on diagnosis and differential diagnosis in one of the most challenging areas of surgical pathology, Enzinger and Weiss’s Soft Tissue Tumors, edited by Drs. Andrew L. Folpe and G. Petur Nielsen, continues the tradition of excellence in this fully revised 8th Edition. It provides clear guidance from cover to cover with detailed, well-written, logically organized information on the full spectrum of these complex tumors. Practicing and trainee pathologists will find complete coverage of diagnosis of tumors by microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and molecular genetics, while clinicians who most frequently see these diseases—dermatologists, orthopaedists, and oncologists—will also benefit from a considerable amount of clinically significant information of interest to their field.
Key Features
- Offers practical information on differential diagnosis of tumors of the skeletal muscles, connective tissue, fat, and related structures, helping you accurately diagnose and confidently sign out pathology reports on even the most challenging cases
- Provides unsurpassed scope and depth in this complex area with microscopic findings correlated with the latest developments in molecular biology, cytogenetics, and immunohistochemistry, for a comprehensive and integrated approach to evaluation and diagnosis
- Comprehensively restructured with numerous new chapters, including chapters on emerging entities, mesenchymal tumors specific to the gastrointestinal tract, soft tissue tumors showing epithelial and myoepithelial differentiation, and round cell sarcomas, among others
- Contains abundant algorithms, tables, and graphs to facilitate rapid decision making—many new to this edition
- Features nearly 2,000 high-quality images that clearly capture the clinical, macroscopic and microscopic features of benign and malignant conditions, helping you relate these characteristics to their specific classifications
- Shares the knowledge and expertise of two new lead editors: Drs. Andrew L. Folpe and G. Petur Nielsen
- Utilizes a logical, well-structured format including summary outlines at the beginning of each chapter, a color-coded page design, and a consistent approach to every entity, enabling you to navigate the text quickly, improve turnaround time when diagnosing a specimen, and clearly report on the prognosis and therapeutic management options
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
