Differential Diagnosis in CytopathologyPaolo Gattuso ,Vijaya Reddy ,Shahla Masood 2009, 760 pgs, tela. 178,00 € + 4% de Iva 

 

The cytologic method of pathology is now one of the most widely used diagnostic modalities worldwide. This new and practical text in cytopathology is an organ-based guide for professionals in which malignant and benign tumors are the predominant focus, but the full spectrum of infectious and inflammatory disorders will also be presented in detail, and in both adult and pediatric populations. Coverage is not limited to findings from only the light microscope but also includes many examples of other genetic, molecular, and immunologic diagnostic modalities, giving pathologists diagnostic and clinical criteria needed when formulating a diagnosis and differential diagnosis. This book is illustrated with more than 2000 full color photomicrographs and accompanied by a CD-ROM of all images in a downloadable format. Differential Diagnosis in Cytopathology proves to be the most comprehensive text in a market in which no other has focused exclusively on essential diagnostic criteria.

• Concise text allows for a quick diagnosis and differential diagnosis • Covers both aspiration and exfoliative cytology in detail • Over 1000 full-color images • Contains a CD-Rom in a downloadable format.

Breast

Breast pathology is arguably considered the most challenging and controversial area of diagnostic pathology. Many gradations of normal, pre-cancerous, and cancerous conditions are often indistinguishable, making a clear-cut diagnosis very difficult and often a cause for intense debate. This latest book in the Cambridge Illustrated Surgical Pathology series comprehensively covers all methods utilized by pathologists to accurately diagnose diseases affecting the breast. Malignant tumors are the predominant focus, but a full spectrum of inflammatory disorders and hyperplasias is also covered in detail, and the book uniquely shows the progression of disease states from incipient to advanced. Findings are diagnosed not only through the light microscope but also through genetic, molecular, and immunologic modalities; the text additionally includes the interpretation of cytologic specimens as an important diagnostic modality in breast pathology. The book is highly illustrated, with more than 300 color photomicrographs, and accompanied by a CD-ROM of all images.

• Comprehensively covers all methods utilized by pathologists to diagnose diseases affecting the breast • Exclusive to diagnostic and clinical criteria, with unique orientation showing progression from

incipient to advanced disease states • Illustrated with over 300 color photomicrographs and accompanied by a CD-ROM of all images

Contents

1. Normal histology and metaplasias; 2. Reactive and inflammatory lesions; 3. Adenosis, sclerosing lesions, and other miscellaneous benign entities; 4. Fibroepithelial lesions; 5. Nipple lesions; 6. Papillary lesions; 7. Benign stromal lesions; 8. Lobular neoplasia; 9. Ductal neoplasia; 10. Invasive carcinoma, no special type; 11. Invasive carcinoma, special types; 12. Metaplastic carcinoma and sacroma; 13. Cytology of the breast.

 

Modern Immunohistochemistry

Peiguo Chu . Lawrence Weiss

2009, 712 pgs, tela,  149,00 € + 4% de Iva

Diagnostic pathology is an inherently flawed science due to the many possible interpretations of various tissues. However, the application of immunohistochemical stains as a diagnostic tool has been widely used since the 1990s as an extremely effective ancillary technique that removes much subjectivity from the practice. In fact, immunohistochemistry has supplanted simple morphologic evaluation as the definitive diagnostic method for a wide array of tumor types. This book offers a new and modern atlas-based resource for this science. Every anatomic region is covered in detail, and major diseases contain side-by-side examples of other ancillary staining techniques for comparison. The text is geared toward both the resident and practitioner of anatomic pathology and is supplemented with histograms, algorithms, and guides to the application and interpretation of uncommon antigens and immunostains. Not only is the book illustrated with more than 600 high-quality photomicrographs, but a companion CD-ROM of all images in downloadable format is included.

• Comprehensively covers all diseases for which immunohistochemistry is the best diagnostic tool • Side by side comparisons of ancillary staining techniques, accompanied by algorithms and histograms • Illustrated with over 600 full-color photomicrographs, accompanied by CD-ROM of all images in downloadable format
