Focusing on the clinical and diagnostic challenges of Graft-versus-host Disease (GvHD), this volume provides an in-depth analysis of its histological features, particularly in the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. It addresses the impact of prophylactic measures on the prevalence of typical versus atypical lesions, highlighting the need for updated diagnostic criteria. The book also emphasizes differential diagnostic issues and potential pitfalls in histodiagnosis, while exploring the role and limitations of immunohistological techniques in identifying GvHD.

While comprehensive descriptions of the various aspects of Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD) have already been published, to date there is no monograph on the clinical and diagnostic pathology of this life-threatening disease. This book fills this gap and serves as a reliable guide to the histomorphologic diagnosis of GvHD. It contains a concise description of: the clinical pathology of GvHD; the applicability and limits of immunohistologic methods in the diagnosis of this disease; an instructive guide to the histological diagnosis; and differential diagnostic problems and potential diagnostic pitfalls.
