This issue of the Surgical Pathology Clinics, edited by Drs. Blaise Clarke and Glenn McCluggage, focuses on Gynecologic Pathology. Topics covered in the issue include, but are not limited to: Gynecologic manifestations of the DICER1 syndrome; Prophylactic gynecologic specimens from hereditary cancer carriers; Lynch syndrome associated endometrial cancer; Peutz-jeghers syndrome associated gynecologic tumors; Gynecologic manifestations of less commonly encountered hereditary syndromes; and Clinical testing for hereditary predisposition.

Comprehensive and practice-oriented, the fully updated 3rd Edition of this easy-to-use text covers the full range of obstetric and gynecologic pathology, including information on treatment and patient management. Written largely by the pathology and clinical faculty at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital, it covers the most up-to-date information available in the field, including molecular genetics and diagnostics. Drs. Christopher P. Crum and Marisa R. Nucci are joined by new editors Scott R. Granter, Brooke E. Howitt, Mana M. Parast, and Theonia K. Boyd, to provide complete, beautifully illustrated coverage of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders of the female genital system, ideal for improving pathological diagnosis. Provides distinct diagnostic/differential diagnostic criteria for any potential obstetric/gynecologic specimen encountered in practice. Features more than 2,250 full-color images, key points at the end of each chapter, and an appendix with commonly used ICD-10 codes Covers topics not often found in gynecologic pathology textbooks, such as vulvodynia, and diseases of the anus. Approaches topics from a practice-oriented point of view, beginning with clinical presentation and progressing through histopathology, differential diagnosis, and treatment for each disorder. Emphasizes new practice issues and their biologic basis including approaches to vulvar, cervical and endometrial precursors as well as the underpinnings of cervical, endometrial and ovarian cancer. A comprehensive look at mesenchymal neoplasia, including not only lower genital tract and uterus but also the retroperitoneum.

This fully indexed, 2-volume book covers all aspects of gynecologic and obstetric pathology. It focuses on practical issues in each chapter by demonstrating pitfalls of diagnosis in addition to general criteria needed for each disease entity. As a reference book on gynecologic and obstetric pathology, it is targeted for practicing pathologists, pathology residents, gynecologic pathology and oncology fellows, clinicians, healthcare providers, and biomedical researchers and is intended for use as a bench or scope side reference, resource for studying for board examinations or to satisfy any interest in certain topics within the field of gynecologic pathology. Volume 1 contains 19 chapters covering disease entities of the vulva, vagina, cervix, and endometrium. It covers all the recognized recent advances within the field. Key diagnostic and differential diagnosis related points are illustrated in numerous tables. In addition, plenty of high quality pictures are presented for the vast majority of entities to facilitate both learning and teaching.

Since the first edition of the book “Gynecologic and Obstetric Pathology” was published in July 2019, the knowledge base of gynecologic and obstetric pathology advances very rapidly, especially in the areas of ancillary testing and classification of tumors. In addition, the publication of the WHO classification of Tumors of the Female Genital tract in 2020 introduced many changes in terminology, new variants of tumors and ancillary testing schema with several older entities were reclassified into other families of tumors, leading to diagnostic terminology that should no longer be utilized. Furthermore, multiple new entities and better diagnostic approaches have been recognized after the publication of WHO2020. In order to keep pace with these changes, this text must be updated to the new, worldwide standards in terminology to assure that it remains an authoritative text for gynecologic and obstetric pathology. This updated edition represents the most up to date, comprehensive text in this field, and a new edition will assure that this remains the case. Written by an international panel of well recognized, authoritative pathologists from numerous countries, it will be a helpful reference for practicing pathologists, pathology residents, gynecologic pathology and oncology fellows, clinicians, healthcare providers, and biomedical researchers and is intended for use as a bench or scope side reference, resource for studying for board examinations or to satisfy any interest in certain topics within the field of gynecologic pathology.

Zusammenfassung: Challenging Cases in Gynecologic Surgical Pathology discusses unusual clinical cases and uncommon presentations of usual diagnostic entities. The book is divided into four sections that contain over 14 years of teaching material from major academic institutions and cancer centers. The pathology case presentations are from different anatomical sites of the gynecological tract, including ovary and fallopian tubes, uterine corpus, cervix, and vulva. The chapters within each section contain epithelial, mesenchymal, or germ cell tumors and mimickers of cancer. Each case title has a brief clinical correlation at the end. The sample cases therein may be diagnostically challenging for practicing pathologists in routine practice or relatively recently described entities. The intent of the book is not a complete review of gynecologic pathology. Instead, the focus is on unusual patterns of common gynecologic pathology cases and uncommon tumors of the gynecological tract with their relevant clinical work-up and differential diagnosis. The case illustrations provide a practical approach to diagnosing challenging gynecologic cancers. The aim is to be a valuable resource for practicing general pathologists and pathology trainees who encounter complicated cases in daily practice
