Highights the immunophenotypic and molecular genetic tests of greatest value in diagnoses, risk assessment, and disease monitoring. The focus on molecular genetic findings for each neoplasm parallels the ever-expanding role of genetics in disease classification and risk assessment. Key problem areas and differential diagnostic considerations are also included for each neoplastic disease category.

Updates the status of heart tumours, with emphasis on newer findings, especially molecular advances. Because newer imaging modalities, especially cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and 3-D echocardiography are increasingly used in preoperative evaluation of heart tumours, the authors have introduced a chapter devoted exclusively to radiologic diagnosis.

Emphasises new molecular findings which are relevant to diagnostic tumour pathology, as well as the diagnostic features of aspiration and exfoliative cytopathology. Differential diagnosis is also emphasised, and numerous tables summarise important differential diagnostic considerations. Important recommendations for gross dissection and surgical pathology report construction are also included.

This comprehensive volume includes chapters on bone growth and development, bone tumor imaging, molecular genetics, and all classes of bone and joint tumors.

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.

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.

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.

Explore the use of human pathology samples as they are used to develop art that is pleasing to the eye and challenging to the mind. For those with knowledge of pathology, histology and microscopy, the work of Dr. Tim-Rasmus Kiehl, a neuropathologist who worked at University Health Network in Toronto, Canada, will be a source of fascination.

Discusses the practical pathologic diagnoses of tumours and tumour-like diseases of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, penis, and scrotum. The authors emphasise pathologic gross and light microscopic diagnostic features and differential diagnoses. They also discuss the clinical presentation and the clinical meaning of the pathologic diagnosis in terms of prognosis and treatment.

Addresses one of the most difficult areas in surgical pathology, non-neoplastic disorders of the lower respiratory tract. With their clinical and radiological expertise, the authors have greatly enhanced the pathology descriptions resulting in a book of almost 1000 pages, with a total of 1,185 colour and 284 black and white images, including pathology as well as radiology illustrations.

Contains new information on tumours and tumour-like lesions of the gallbladder, extrahepatic bile ducts and Vaterian system. Surgical pathologists now have the opportunity to examine more cancer precursors, early cancers, and adenomas of the gallbladder, extrahepatic bile ducts and ampulla of Vater than previously. These lesions are discussed in detail and profusely illustrated.

Emphasises diagnostically-important information on immunohistochemistry and molecular genetics. It is aimed as a practical diagnostic aid for pathologists, cytopathologists and pathology trainees, but the authors hope that their clinical colleagues and others may also find it as a useful source of information on soft tissue tumours and tumour-like lesions. Highly illustrated, mainly in colour.

Provides a thorough, concise, and up-to-date information on the nomenclature and classification; epidemiologic, clinical, and pathogenetic features; and, most importantly, guidance in the diagnosis of the tumors and tumorlike lesions of all major organ systems and body sites.

Remarkable advances have occurred since the Series 3 Fascicle published in 1995 with paradigm shifts in every dimension of our understanding of lung tumors including clinical, radiologic, histopathologic, cytopathologic, immunohistochemical, molecular and therapeutic aspects.

Advances in many areas of tumor biology have led to a better understanding of the pathogenesis, pathology, and molecular biology of epithelial and stromal malignancies of the upper gastrointestinal tract. This edition highlights these advances, and helps pathologists diagnose diseases more accurately.

Because inflammatory skin disorders represent the most common and significant non-neoplastic skin diseases, as well as the most frequently-encountered diagnostic hurdle for the practising pathologist, they are the focus of this volume. This atlas summarises and illuminates relevant clinical and pathologic findings for non-neoplastic disorders of skin in a manner that promotes practicality.

Although malignant processes garner the majority of attention, it is the benign processes that have an underlying complexity that is often an illustration of the delicate interplay of many components of the active immune system. For pathologists and hematopathologists, this book will serve for years as a useful guide to the multifaceted world of benign and reactive lesions of the lymphoid system.

Provides surgical pathologists with expert reference material. The lesions described relate principally to medical non-neoplastic conditions as exemplified by the first three Fascicles on endocrine, pulmonary, and skin diseases. Many of these lesions represent complex entities and when appropriate the authors have included contributions from internists, radiologists, and surgeons.

Divided into fourteen chapters and an appendix and with 490 illustrations, this volume includes the structure and function of the normal placenta before reviewing the major disorders and lesions which occur as complications of a normal pregnancy and delivery. It provides an expert comprehensive review of diseases of the placenta.

This volume has adopted the WHO system of classification and, for pathologists who are not as familiar with the WHO system, the authors clearly explain and illustrate both the morphologic and histogenetic classification systems that are its bases. Newly-recognised tumour entities, new cytologic and genetic findings, and recent references have been added. Highly illustrated, mainly in colour.

Of the various subspecialty areas in anatomic pathology, neuropathology tends to be one of the least familiar to general pathologists. This volume is biased toward diseases that may be encountered in surgical pathology practice. Moreover, the authors have tried to illustrate as many entities as possible with surgical material.

Aims to present various molecular findings which provide an understanding of tumour pathogenesis. Presenting an important diagnostic feature of major lesions, this book includes not only the gross, histopathologic and cytologic findings but also the clinical and radiographic features in the differential diagnosis of bone tumours and their mimics.

The lesions described relate principally to medical non-neoplastic conditions. Many of these lesions represent complex entities and when appropriate we have included contributions from internists radiologists and surgeons.
