In the 8 years since the publication of the first edition of Essentials of Anatomic Pathology, great strides have been made in our understanding of diseases and neoplastic processes. Many clinically important new histopathologic entities have been described or more fully defined in virtually every organ. Numerous clinically important diagnostic and prognostic markers have entered routine practice. Genetic testing for the early detection of cancers and the molecular classification of diseases has become increasingly important. This is an age of enlightenment in surgical pathology, and the authors of this new volume have captured this sense of excitement herein. This much praised and widely used reference manual on has been extensively revised and expanded to cover the entire field of anatomic pathology. The Third Edition features the incorporation of full-color images in the text with updates of new diagnostic and prognostic information. New classifications and numerous new entities and histologic variants are fully explored. Useful immunostaining biomarkers and emerging molecular targets and relevant molecular findings that have emerged from recent genomic studies are incorporated in each chapter. Written by internationally recognized authorities, the comprehensive, evidence-based practice information is presented in an outline format that is clear and easy to follow. Up-to-date and richly detailed, Essentials of Anatomic Pathology, Third Edition offers both the pathologist-in-training and the practicing pathologist a concise summary of all the critical information needed to recognize, understand and interpret anatomic pathology.

The neoplasms found in the female genital tract are numerous and growing more complex. Cytology and Surgical Pathology of Gynecologic Neoplasms has been written to provide a practical reference for practicing pathologists and cytopathologists in a quick and concise fashion. The primary focus of this book is on gynecological tumors, specifically common ones and their benign mimics. Emphasis is placed on morphologic recognition, resolving common diagnostic problems seen in routine practices, and discussion of current classification of gynecologic malignancies. Special references to the differential diagnosis and pitfalls of each entity are included. The role of cytology and its correlation with histology is richly illustrated and discussed. Also presented is the practical use of ancillary studies such as molecular diagnostic testing and immunohistochemistry. With a unique emphasis on the correlation between cytology and surgical pathology, Cytology and Surgical Pathology of Gynecologic Neoplasms provides a ready reference for both the practicing pathologist and pathologist in training in finding quick answers to their diagnostic challenges.

Fine needle aspiration is one of the pronciple diagnostic tools used in taking cells from possible malignant lesions in the breast. These cells are then subjected to cytological analysis and, depending on the result, the surgical/radiotherapy treatments can be planned. The technique can present problems in three regards. Firstly, in taking a sample from the right place; secondly, in making sure enough cells have been taken for diagnosis and thirdly, in making the correct diagnosis. This book illustrates the radiological, cytological and histological appearance of the various lesions encountered in diseases of the breast. It will be a practical guide to the interpretation and diagnosis of cytopathological specimens of the breast. A practical manual illustrating the best methods of achieving adequate diagnostic samples. A clear guide to making and reporting the differential diagnosis of breast lesions Written by two of the leading figures in the European Breast Screening Programme, the book sets out standards of best practice Clearly illustrates both the techniques of FNA and their subsequent diagnostic findings, enabling the book to be used alongside the microscope.
