Bøger i AFIP Atlas of Tumor and Non-Tumor Pathology, Series 5 serien

How does a pathologist become interested and develop expertise in testicular and paratesticular neoplasms, which are relatively uncommon? The truth is simple - the opportunity to see many cases. The authors of this 5th Series Fascicle share a remarkable range of cases from their institutions.

The primary goal of this fascicle is to be a practical reference for pathologists who review liver biopsies, a most challenging area of diagnostic surgical pathology.

This latest version of the Atlas of Non-melanocytic Tumors of the Skin is rich in illustrations, highlights important diagnostic aspects of individual cutaneous epithelial, mesenchymal, hematopoietic and lymphoid tumors, and delineates their morphologic spectrum.

Due to the difficulties in studying human gestation and gestational pathologies, much of what is known about placental pathology is biased toward personal experience and retrospective studies. However, this book presents evidence-based information, emphasizing the need for a directed sampling of the placenta through gross examination.

Pathologists play a particularly important role in the care of patients with persistent gastrointestinal symptoms. They must be able to focus on key features present in biopsy material in order to narrow the differential diagnosis and facilitate patient management. This atlas addresses these needs in a succinct and pragmatic fashion.

A one-stop, comprehensive reference for the pathology of salivary gland neoplasms, with an emphasis on numerous high-quality, illustrative photomicrographs. The authors incorporate the most cutting-edge genetic data emerging on such tumors, as this information often has a profound impact on their diagnosis and classification.

There have been numerous significant developments in the diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic tumors since the last edition of Tumors of the Eye and Ocular Adnexa. This fascicle in the fifth series of the AFIP Atlases of Tumor and Non-tumor Pathology includes these developments as well as abundant images to depict ophthalmic pathology.

The classification of pituitary disease is becoming easier, and as targeted therapies are being developed, the role of the pathologist in determining accurate diagnoses is increasingly important. The surgical pathologist must therefore recognise the important role of morphologic analysis in classifying sellar pathology for the diagnosis and management of the pituitary patient. Highly illustrated.

Since the last edition of this volume, there have been numerous significant developments in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate and penile cancers. This new fifth series fascicle includes these developments as well as abundant images and diagrams to depict the morphological spectrum of disease entities.
