Atlas of Endometrial Histopathology
Description
Product Description
For this second, expanded edition, most of the chapters have been extensively revised to include the latest immunohistochemical and molecular biological methods. With its clearly thought-out structure, this atlas enables the pathologist to find, classify, and differentially diagnose each disease. 280 top-quality illustrations - over half in full colour - are each accompanied by a description of the pathology of the disease, a summary of the causes, an explanation of its clinical importance, and treatment options, emphasising the importance of constant mutual co-operation with the attending gynaecologist. Microphotographs are arranged systematically according to morphology, and each is followed by a short description together with the aetiology and morphologic and differential diagnosis of the different conditions. Hemming Poulsen is head of the WHO Collaborating Center for the Histological Classification of tumours and the new chapter on neoplasms, for example, reflects this new WHO classification. Additional chapters cover gestational diseases as well as new findings in infertility and hormone replacement therapy.

"...an excellent ack pocket'bible for any trainee or practising surgical pathologist..." - Pathology'
From the Back Cover
The prime purpose of this atlas is to help the pathologist to find, classify, and differentially diagnose the changes seen. The text provides a description of the pathology of the diseases, summarizes and differentiates the causes, and explains the clinical importance of the condition and how to treat it, emphasising the importance of a constant mutual cooperation with the attending gynecologist. This new edition differs from the preceding one in that there has been extensive revision in most chapters. Recent advances in research gained by immunohistochemical and molecular biological methods are included, as far as they are applicable to daily diagnostic work. The chapter on neoplasms, in particular, has been greatly expanded in accordance with the new WHO International Histological Classification of genital tract tumors. A new chapter has been added on gestational diseases, incorporating recent studies on spontaneous abortion, chromosomal anomalies, and trophoblastic tumors. New discoveries and experiences in correlating structure and function in infertility and in hormone replacement therapy of peri- and postmenopausal patients are given in detail.
