Opis

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.

Recenzje

"This is a superb book for all training and practicing anatomic pathologists who are responsible for the assessment of small biopsies and curettings of the endometrium. Not only does it have excellent descriptions and imagery of a variety of benign and malignant neoplasms, it incorporates a pathophysiological assessment of the menstrual cycle. The discussion of the various terminology used for atypia is most worthwhile and helpful." (Lauren Stanoszek, Doody's Book Reviews, April 19, 2019)

The third edition of this text entails a comprehensive review of pathophysiology, including the recognition of physiologic conditions and

pathologic entities, such as polyps, endometritis, gestational trophoblastic diseases, endometrial hyperplasia, and carcinoma. It also

serves as an update on the use of current terminology and ancillary tools. Th e authors incorporate signifi cant updates related to the

expansion of their knowledge of old and newer entities and the use of immunohistochemical and molecular ancillary techniques to assist in

accurately diagnosing endometrial biopsies. Th e chapters also include recommendations and suggestions of appropriate terminology for a

pathology report, as well as specifi c pitfalls, mimickers and confounding factors in the diagnosis of endometrial samples, such as surface

metaplasias, cytoplasmic changes, and endocervical contaminants. The complicated subject of hyperplasia and cancer precursors is discussed

at length with an expanded commentary on the application of the term endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) and how it

relates to the traditional classifi cation of endometrial hyperplasia. Additionally, a substantial number of new, richly colored images

helps readers fully understand and confi dently classify such complex specimens.

The newest edition of Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies and Curettings serves as a useful resource not only for pathologists in training

and practicing pathologists, but also to experienced physicians, other health care providers and researchers that deal with and are interested

in endometrial pathology.
