This presentation of the diseases of the placenta differs in many
ways from the first such treatment in these volumes by the eminent
Robert Meyer. It is a deliberate attempt to bring together the
practical information which has been gathered about the pathology
of this complex organ and to make it available to the practicing
pathologist as well as clinician. Despite the ready availability of
the placenta for study, the pathologist is often ill-prepared to
interpret lesions which he may find. Moreover, it has been
difficult for him to find reference material, published commonly in
journals and books with which he is not familiar. Further more, the
interpretation of lesions affecting the placenta seemed less
challenging since the organ had served its function, was to be
discarded and presumably little of significance could be expected
from such a retrospective study. Recently, with new emphasis on
maternal and fetal health and disease, it has become apparent that
knowledge of pathologic changes in the placenta often provides a
unique insight into antenatal events. Thus, there has been an
abundance of publications in this field in recent years, several in
book form. These and the most important older investigations on the
morbid anatomy of the human pla centa are here reviewed. This book
has been written with a special point of view, however, which
reflects our own bias."
