Titelbeschreibung

<P>Derived from the authors' long-running course presented at the International Academy of Pathology, this second edition, now with color illustrations, continues the tradition of its predecessor as being the concise and complete diagnostic guide to the endometrial biopsy. The text is structured so as to present a logical approach to formulating a pathologic diagnosis from the diverse array of tissue received in the surgical pathology laboratory. Color illustrations show typical artifacts and distortion, and explain their impact on diagnostic interpretation. Each chapter includes a section summarizing the features that must be discussed in the final pathology report.</P>

Titellangbeschreibung

DIAGNOSIS OF ENDOMETRIAL BIOPSIES, Second Edition, revised and now with color illustrations, continues the tradition as being the most concise and complete diagnostic guide to the endometrial biopsy. A review from MODERN PATHOLOGY praises it as being "extremely useful for the practicing pathologist because it outlines criteria for diagnosis, helps in solving diagnostic diagnostic dilemmas, and clarifies controversial issues."

The text is structured to present a logical approach to formulating a pathologic diagnosis from the diverse array of tissue received in the surgical pathology laboratory. Color illustrations show typical artifacts and distortion and explain their impact on diagnostic interpretation. Each chapter includes a section on "Clinical Queries and Reporting" that summarizes the features that must be discussed in the final pathology report.

The authors are two prominent gynecologic pathologists, and this book is derived from their long-running Short Course presented at the International Academy of Pathology.

Back cover copy

<div><div><div><div><div>The third edition of this text entails a comprehensive review of pathophysiology, including the recognition of physiologic conditions and</div><div>pathologic entities, such as polyps, endometritis, gestational trophoblastic diseases, endometrial hyperplasia, and carcinoma. It also</div><div>serves as an update on the use of current terminology and ancillary tools. Th e authors incorporate signifi cant updates related to the</div><div>expansion of their knowledge of old and newer entities and the use of immunohistochemical and molecular ancillary techniques to assist in</div><div>accurately diagnosing endometrial biopsies. Th e chapters also include recommendations and suggestions of appropriate terminology for a</div><div>pathology report, as well as specifi c pitfalls, mimickers and confounding factors in the diagnosis of endometrial samples, such as surface</div><div>metaplasias, cytoplasmic changes, and endocervical contaminants. The complicated subject of hyperplasia and cancer precursors is discussed</div><div>at length with an expanded commentary on the application of the term endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) and how it</div><div>relates to the traditional classifi cation of endometrial hyperplasia. Additionally, a substantial number of new, richly colored images</div><div>helps readers fully understand and confi dently classify such complex specimens.</div><div><br></div><div>The newest edition of Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies and Curettings serves as a useful resource not only for pathologists in training</div><div>and practicing pathologists, but also to experienced physicians, other health care providers and researchers that deal with and are interested</div><div>in endometrial pathology.</div></div></div></div></div>
