Description

Here is the newly revised and thoroughly up-dated second edition of the critically acclaimed Pathology of the Female Reproductive Tract. This lavishly illustrated text provides the surgical pathologist with all of the information necessary to effectively diagnose and confidently sign out gynecologic and obstetric reports. Whilst histopathologic features form the cornerstone of the book’s diagnostic approach it also includes data from ancillary techniques such as immunohistochemistry and cytogenetics as well as the relevant clinical manifestations of gynecologic diseases. The book covers the full range of both common and rare benign and malignant lesions, and all entities are accompanied by well chosen photographs of outstanding quality. Wherever possible, the text is supplemented by summary tables, diagnostic flow charts, and analytic tables in order to facilitate rapid interpretation and accurate diagnosis.

Review quotes

“It is just right for a busy pathologist swamped in his or her daily practice with tons of surgical material.” – Modern Pathology, review of previous edition

“With its striking use of color and its readability, Pathology of the Female Reproductive Tract has created a new niche. It represents a pleasing and relatively detailed exploration of gynecologic pathology with a wealth of information and illustrations for the resident in gynecology or pathology or for the practicing pathologist who would like diagnostic assistance when next confronted with a problematic gynecologic biopsy or resection specimen.” – NEJM, review of previous edition
