Detailed figure legends and handy Checklists and Key Features sections streamline information and help you better understand the pattern-based approach. The Pearls & Pitfalls and the Near Miss sections offer valuable lessons from sneaky cases. Tables emphasize salient clinicopathologic features, management implications, and therapeutic options.
