Listed under: GU/adrenal; Textbook chapters: Testis & epididymis

This book presents the morphology of different non-tumoral lesions of the testis. By showing the differential diagnosis of each lesion, it offers clinicians vital support with diagnosis and treatment. The book is divided into seven main parts: genetic and developmental pathology of the testis; infertility; vascular pathology of the testis; inflammatory pathology; pathology of the rete testis and epididymis; pathology of the vaginal tunic and paratesticular structures; and a final part dealing with miscellanea. Each chapter includes carefully selected figures and a variety of diagrams highlighting the main characteristics of a specific lesion to facilitate its diagnosis.

Series: Differential Diagnoses in Surgical Pathology

Listed under: GU/adrenal; Textbook chapters: Bladder & ureters, Kidney tumor, Penis & scrotum, Prostate gland & seminal vesicles, Testis & epididymis

This practical resource, a volume in the new Differential Diagnoses in Surgical Pathology series, is arranged by differential diagnoses, filling a niche in urologic pathology resources and providing a practical guide to making the correct diagnosis between commonly confused entities. This innovative book covers over 175 differential diagnoses, ranging from the most common in surgical urologic pathology to select disorders that are less frequently seen. In every chapter, lesions are presented side by side for easy comparison, with clinical and pathological findings in short outline format followed by several full color images. In addition to illustrating and discussing the classical features of these entities, the authors emphasize atypical features that can complicate diagnoses.

This book is a concise, easy to read guide for the beginning student of GU surgical pathology. It is specifically designed as a study tool for urology and pathology residents; for their in-service exams during residency and, more importantly, for their written board exam upon completion of residency. This book takes a case-based approach to diagnosing the most common benign and malignant urologic pathology. It focuses on the fundamental clinical, pathologic, and radiographic features for diagnosis as well as a brief, bullet-point description of the appropriate clinical management and outcomes. This book is full of high quality gross, microscopic, and radiographic images to create the best resource for the beginning student of GU pathology.

This book provides the pathologist with detailed morphologic descriptions and diagnostic guidance in recognizing these neoplastic mimics as they occur in the genitourinary system. In addition, descriptions and diagnostic guidance are provided for the range of genitourinary lesions tumors that may mimic benign masses but are in fact neoplastic. Throughout the book comparisons of neoplastic mimics with true neoplasms are provided, at clinical, gross, and histologic levels. In the presentation of of every entity, the points that contribute to differential diagnosis are emphasized.

This user-friendly book is a practical guide to the diagnosis of testicular tumors and rare tumors of the penis. It describes and illustrates pathology findings for each tumor type and provides information on clinical features, differential diagnosis, tumor staging, and prognostic factors. Since an effective dialogue between urologists and pathologists is essential for optimal patient care, due attention is paid to such aspects as the role of frozen section in the management of small testicular nodules and the accurate reporting of testicular and penile neoplasms to ensure that all knowledge required for diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making is available.
