Chhieng: Cytology and Surgical Pathology of Gynecologic Neoplasms

By David Chhieng

2010 (1st ed), 264 illus, 150 pages, $139 list

Cytology and Surgical Pathology of Gynecologic Neoplasms has been written to provide a practical reference for practicing pathologists and cytopathologists in a quick and concise fashion. The primary focus of this book is on gynecological tumors, specifically common ones and their benign mimics. Emphasis is placed on morphologic recognition, resolving common diagnostic problems seen in routine practices, and discussion of current classification of gynecologic malignancies. Special references to the differential diagnosis and pitfalls of each entity are included. The role of cytology and its correlation with histology is richly illustrated and discussed. Also presented is the practical use of ancillary studies such as molecular diagnostic testing and immunohistochemistry. With a unique emphasis on the correlation between cytology and surgical pathology, Cytology and Surgical Pathology of Gynecologic Neoplasms provides a ready reference for both the practicing pathologist and pathologist in training in finding quick answers to their diagnostic challenges.

 

Clarke-Pearson: Gynecological Cancer Management

By Daniel Clarke-Pearson

2009 (1st ed), 208 pages, $100 list
Over the past three decades, as the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology has matured into a broad and diverse group of skills and disciplines, it has become apparent that there are diagnoses and conditions in gynecologic oncology where the obstetrician-gynecologist has a level of uncertainty, or lack of confidence in his ability or knowledge base to adequately manage the patient and therefore refers the patient to a gynecologic oncologist. This text portrays the advances in the field and reviews the current management of a number of gynecologic conditions to give the reader the confidence needed to deal with these issues.

Dallenbach-Hellwag: Histopathology of the Endometrium  

By Gisela Dallenbach-Hellwag

2010 (3rd ed), 359 pages, 149 illus, $169 list

The prime purpose of this atlas is to help the pathologist find, classify and differentially diagnose the changes he is observing. Information on the daily changes during the menstrual cycle and how to date them is essential for recognizing changes caused by abnormal endogenic and iatrogenic hormonal stimuli in functional endometrial disturbances. To provide their patients with the proper hormonal therapy, gynecologists cannot rely on blood samples only because of the constantly fluctuating hormonal levels. A precise functional diagnosis of the endometrial biopsy is the most accurate and best means for assessing hormonal action. Numerous microphotographs explain in detail how to recognize the normal and pathological changes that can develop in the endometrium. The subject of endometritis and the complex endometrial neoplasms and their precursors, with their differential diagnosis as well as their clinical prognosis are covered in detail. To complete the endometrial histopathology, gestational changes are reviewed and illustrated in the last chapter.

 

Deligdisch: Early Pathologic Diagnosis of Gynecologic Cancer Including A Clinician's View  

By Liane Deligdisch
