"Designed as an easy-to-use and comprehensive reference for practicing pathologists and pathologists-in-training, Diagnostic Pathology: Gynecological is a highly anticipated title in the Diagnostic Pathology series offered by Amirsys. This textbook is filled with bulleted, but highly detailed, text on common and uncommon entities involving the female genital tract including tumor and tumor-like lesions. It is filled with superior medical images, including gross and microscopic pathology, a wide range of supportive immunohistochemistry, and detailed medical illustrations with numerous examples of morphologic findings. For each site within the female genital tract, you'll find reference to important anatomic, histologic, and specimen handling issues including those encountered at the time of frozen section. In addition, uncommonly discussed topics such as inflammatory diseases of the vulva are covered by experts in the field of dermatopathology. You'll also find new information on classification of squamous lesions of the distal female genital tract. Moreover, each chapter will cover the role of immunohistochemistry as well as other ancillary techniques in the differential diagnosis in gynecologic pathology. This volume is intended to be a concise, user friendly, superior diagnostic textbook for the busy practicing pathologist as well as pathology residents and fellows in training."--Provided by publisher.
