Description

With sweeping revisions throughout, the new edition of Urologic Surgical Pathology equips you to accurately diagnose specimens of the entire urinary tract and male reproductive system plus the adrenal glands. Comprehensive in scope, this title begins with a look at normal anatomy and histology for each organ system...followed by discussions of the pathology of congenital anomalies, inflammations, non-neoplastic diseases and neoplasia. Practical guidance in daily urological pathology sign-out and the latest recommended diagnostic approaches — with an emphasis on clinicopathologic and radiographic-pathologic correlations — makes this a true diagnostic decision-making medical reference. A consistent format enables you to locate critical information quickly, and more than 1600 high-quality illustrations — most in full color — make diagnosis even easier. "A great update of a well know textbook. Uropathology colleagues find it useful".Reviewed by: PathLab.org, June 2014

Review quotes

"Pathologists who have used the previous edition will be pleased with this update and I am sure that they will welcome this new edition with élan. The eight years since the last edition have seen major advances in the field of urologic pathology and this new edition includes most if not all of them. I know of no better book that would bring readers up to speed in urologic pathology as it is practiced by the foremost experts in this subspecialty. For a rapidly developing field (like urologic pathology), this might appear no more than an ephemeral snapshot, but still it will update readers better than any other book. The morphology is still the mainstay, but the ancillary techniques like immunohistochemistry and molecular biology are also included and will help readers understand not only the biology and pathophysiology, but also the clinical significance of these new advances. The book was written for practicing surgical pathologists, who will be the main users. However it should be made available to trainees in pathology and urology and oncologists dealing with urologic diseases. Thus, I see it on the shelves of practicing pathologists as well as in general hospital libraries. I highly recommend this book as one of the must-have, must-read, key books of the core library of modern surgical pathology."Reviewed by: Ivan Damjanov, MD (University of Kansas Medical Center) Doody Review: 5 stars
