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.

2009 (1st ed), 848 pages, 1557 illus, $289 list

There are many tomes available detailing the histopathological features of both general surgical pathology entities and organ specific pathologies.

However, for the specialist pediatric pathologist with a significant pediatric surgical specimen workload, and for the practicing general surgical pathologist faced with reporting pediatric surgical specimens, although information regarding many of the specific entities affecting childhood is available in the former texts, such information requires searching of many disjointed books. Therefore, the aim of this publication is to present a comprehensive and detailed account, which brings together and covers all, or at least most, pediatric surgical pathological entities in a single volume, to allow rapid access for day-to-day use by practicing histopathologists.

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.

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.
