In addition to providing complete descriptions of the tumors and tumor-like lesions encountered in the various compartments of the eye and ocular adnexa, the authors correlate the pathologic features with epidemiologic and pathogenetic observations, clinical features, differential diagnosis and special studies including immunohistochemistry and various molecular approaches.
Each anatomic site has a section on normal anatomy and histology and there is a separate chapter on the pathologic examination of ocular specimens so that the general pathologist can approach these uncommonly encountered specimens with confidence.
