This edition represents a significant expansion of both the textual and illustrative material of the previous volume. The numerous images reflect the authors' belief that the "atlas" role that was the intent of the original edition is of paramount importance in this work. At the same time, the current scope is no longer primarily that of a visual resource, but also a comprehensive guide to clinical, pathologic, immunohistochemical, molecular biologic, prognostic, and to a limited extent, therapeutic aspects of the various entities. For this reason, the authors have greatly expanded coverage of the immunohistochemical and molecular features of the various lesions, recognising that such information is quickly supplemented by new observations. Nonetheless, they continue to believe that careful gross examination and routine light microscopic observations are the foundations for diagnosis of these neoplasms and neoplastic-like processes. A complement to Tumors of the Prostate Gland, Seminal Vesicles, Penis, and Scrotum, this volume will serve as an outstanding resource for the diagnosis of testicular neoplasms for pathologists at all levels of experience.

Comprehensive in scope and easy to use, Atlas of Gynecologic Surgical Pathology, 4th Edition, provides the current, authoritative information you need to effectively sign out cases in female genital pathology. In this 4th Edition, internationally renowned authors Drs. Philip B. Clement and Robert H. Young are joined by new co-author Dr. Jennifer Stall to continue this bestselling atlas's tradition of excellence. Hundreds of superb pathologic images, diagnostic pearls, and fully updated content make this practical, bench-side resource ideal for minimizing risks in reporting both routine and difficult cases. Comprehensively discusses the differential diagnosis of female genital tract neoplasms and their many mimics from the perspective of their varied microscopic features. Highlights important aspects of the clinical background, including age of patient, history of other tumors, and distribution of disease. Stresses helpful aspects of gross features and the importance of thorough sampling. Emphasizes practically important, immunohistochemical findings relevant to establishing the correct diagnosis. Includes newly described variants and new histologic entities. Considers molecular aspects of the entities discussed. Includes the latest classification and staging systems for gynecologic diseases and disorders, with up-to-date information on staging. Includes hundreds of high-quality pathologic images, including new images contributed by Dr. Jennifer Stall from her review of the late Dr. Robert E. Scully's vast collection of cases. Features tables listing differential diagnoses of each tumor and tumor-like entity to help you identify key points to consider in problem areas. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

Discusses the practical pathologic diagnoses of tumours and tumour-like diseases of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, penis, and scrotum. The authors follow the tradition of the preceding three editions by emphasising pathologic gross and light microscopic diagnostic features and differential diagnoses. They also discuss relevant clinical features, including concise sections on the clinical presentation and the clinical meaning of the pathologic diagnosis in terms of prognosis and treatment. The immunohistochemical and molecular pathologic studies that are of current value in diagnosis are clearly presented. The high-quality images follow the rich tradition of the previous editions to depict the spectrum of tumour morphology from cases mainly from the files of institutions such as The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and Instituto de Patologia e Investigacion. This Atlas will be of great value in the field of pathology of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, penis, and scrotum for years to come.
