PREFACE
The second edition of Sternberg's Diagnostic Surgical Pathology Review
has been greatly expanded to include 1,000 multiple-choice questions,
about two-thirds of which accompanied by pictures, which are this time
reproduced in color from the sixth edition of Sternberg's Diagnostic
Surgical Pathology, the source book. The answers and explanations to the
questions are reported at the end of each chapter in this edition. We hope
that these editorial improvements will make the Review a more effective
tool for board and recertification examinations.
