This reference work on all aspects of gynaecological and obstetrical pathology provides descriptions of vulvular, vaginal, endometrial, tubal, cervical and ovarian pathology. It also places special emphasis on the immunopathological aspects of gynaecological and obstetrical disorders.
The fifth edition of this world-famous text provides encyclopedic coverage of both obstetrical and gynaecological pathology. It describes the basic mechanisms of diseases, their pathological and clinical features and their histological and cytological appearance. Each chapter is written by a leading international expert and provides the reader with a complete and authoritative review of a particular topic. This edition will feature increased coverage of fine needle aspiration cytology as well as an increased emphasis on differential diagnosis.
Now in its third edition, this "benchside" reference provides you with a structured diagnostic approach to the features of the placenta most commonly encountered in the investigation of adverse fetal outcomes. Inside, you'll find detailed disussions on cytogenetics and molecular biology as well as the latest developments in coagulopathy, infections, chorioamnionitis, preeclampsia, trophoblastic disease, and twin pregnancies among others. Plus, a new format facilitates information retrieval and new color clinical and pathologic images help you recognize and disagnose lesions better than ever. Access the most authoritative and effective diagnostic help with step-by-step guidance on placental examination techniques. Get the clinical information you need without superfluous details. Create better reports or prepare for exams with comprehensive coverage of all benign and malignant disorders of placental abnormalities. Increase your diagnostic acumen with new and expanded topics such as apoptosis in the normal and pathological placenta, pathogenesis of miscarrage, placental infections (especially malaria and HIV), chorioanmionitis with special reference to its role in cerebral palsy, preeclampsia, gestational trophoblastic disease, medico-legal aspects of the placenta, and much more. Perform a complete diagnostic workup with detailed coverage of molecular biology, immunohistochemisrty, and cytogenetics. Diagnose confidently with the addition of full-color images throughout. Find the the information you need quickly thanks to a new user-friendly format, including bullet points, summary tables, and take-home messages.
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.
The core of this classic text remains its comprehensive survey of benign, precancerous, and malignant lesions. The fourth edition incorporates the latest classification schema, including the revised FIGO tumor staging systems, the Bethesda System for cervical cytology, and revised WHO and ISGYP histological classifications.
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 2 contains 17 chapters covering disease entities of the uterine myometrium, ovary, fallopian tube, peritoneum, placenta, gestational trophoblastic diseases, and gynecology related cytology. 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.
