Atlas Of Gynecologic Pathology

In covering the topic of gynecologic and obstetric pathology, this book attempts to carve out its own niche midway between an atlas and a traditional textbook. The gross and microscopic images in this atlas are presented exclusively in color, and are supplemented by pertinent clinical information and discussions of differential diagnostic considerations. When deemed appropriate, images of immunohistochemical and special stains are included. To further enhance their visual appeal and the overall learning experience, many images in this book are presented with annotations and/or in composite form, and selected images have been enlarged. This image-intensive textbook also includes numerous Pap smear images and cytologic-histologic correlations. In addition to coverage of pathology of the organs of the female genital tract, brief overviews of the normal histology of these sites are provided as necessary background information. Separate chapters are also devoted to placental and peritoneal pathology. There is an emphasis on diagnostic-related issues pertaining to common lesions and their variants, although classic forms of rare lesions are also presented. In selected instances, recommendations on the processing of gross pathology specimens, discussions regarding the optimal approach for intraoperative consultations, and recommendations on the phrasing of key portions of pathology reports are provided. The 10 chapters of this book are organized by site, and the beginning of each chapter lists the entities discussed and their corresponding page numbers.

Written by world famous pathologist Dr. Ivan Damjanov along with two of his colleagues, this is a magnificently illustrated overview of the field of gynecologic pathology. Featuring over 270 full-color photomicrographs, gross pathology studies, and illustrations, this quick reference is both concise and affordable.

This atlas presents an outstanding collection of images of diseases that practitioners may encounter. Designed as a 'working atlas,' this book is organized by organs and includes separate chapters on the placenta and breast. Includes tables of tumor staging and the WHO classification of disease.

Closely mirroring the daily sign-out process, Atlas of Gynecologic Pathology: A Pattern-Based Approach, by Dr. Tricia A. Numan (co-author of Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies and Curettings, A Practical Approach), is a highly illustrated, efficient guide to accurate diagnosis. This practical reference uses a proven, pattern-based approach to clearly explain how to interpret challenging cases by highlighting red flags in the clinical chart and locating hidden clues in the slides. Useful as a daily “scope-side guide,” it features numerous clinical and educational features that help you find pertinent information, reach a correct diagnosis, and assemble a thorough and streamlined pathology report.

This book presents colored gross and microphotographs of histopathology sections of both common and uncommon tumors of the female genital tract, and also includes the immunohistochemistry of the important lesions. Further, it explains the salient diagnostic features and the immunocytochemistry, molecular pathology and differential diagnosis of each lesion with brief references and discusses recent advances in the diagnosis of these tumors. With numerous images offering guidance on diagnosing different lesions of the female genital tract, the book is intended for practicing pathologists and post-graduate students as well as for gynecology practitioners and post-graduate students.

Presenting the innovative new text on gynecologic surgical pathology, an easy-to-use practical guide to the diagnosis of the daily encounters of the surgical pathologist. With concise organization, the chapters present the different areas of the female genital tract, highlighting the cardinal clinical, gross, and microscopic features, as well as the differential diagnosis of the various lesions. Derived from the authors' extensive consultation material, this text includes selected references, with emphasis on recent literature.
