Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies and Curettings: A Practical Approach

Autor Tricia A. Murdock, Emanuela F.T. Veras, Robert J. Kurman, Michael T. Mazur
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 noi 2018
The 3rd edition of this text entails a comprehensive review of endometrial pathophysiology, including the recognition of physiologic conditions (i.e. normal phases and pregnancy), as well as the accurate interpretation of pathologic entities (i.e. polyps, endometritis, gestational trophoblastic diseases, endometrial hyperplasia, carcinoma, etc).  The book will maintain a compact size with numerous illustrations and tables. Although, in its essence, the table of contents remains unaltered from the previous edition, we intend to incorporate significant updates related to the expansion of our knowledge of old and newer entities, use of immunohistochemical and molecular ancillary techniques to assist in the correct diagnosis, as well as two new chapters - one with recommendations/suggestions of appropriate terminology for a pathology report (sign out templates) and another one focusing on specific pitfalls/mimickers/confounding factors in the diagnosis of endometrial samples (surface metaplasias, cytoplasmic changes, endocervical contaminants). The complicated subject of hyperplasia and cancer precursors will include expanded commentary on the application of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) and how it relates to the traditional classification of endometrial hyperplasia.  Additionally, a substantial number of new, all color images, some of which will be available in electronic format, will aid readers to fully understand and confidently classify such complex specimens.  

This text will continue to serve as a useful resource not only for pathologists in training and practicing pathologists, but also to experienced physicians, other health care providers and researchers dealing with, and interested in endometrial pathology. At the end of each chapter, a comprehensive summary - tables with key diagnostic bullets - will provide an additional tool for the readers interested in a quick review of the chapter’s information. This text will remain concise yet a comprehensive reference that will help pathologists use the most updated terminology, recognize potential pitfalls in the diagnosis of endometrial biopsies/curettages, as well as apply the most current tools in immunohistochemistry and molecular ancillary techniques available in the field at the moment.

From the reviews of the second edition:
"...extremely useful for the practicing pathologist because it outlines criteria for diagnosis, helps in solving diagnostic dilemmas, and clarifies controversial issues." Modern Pathology

Recenzii

“This is a superb book for all training and practicing anatomic pathologists who are responsible for the assessment of small biopsies and curettings of the endometrium. Not only does it have excellent descriptions and imagery of a variety of benign and malignant neoplasms, it incorporates a pathophysiological assessment of the menstrual cycle. The discussion of the various terminology used for atypia is most worthwhile and helpful.” (Lauren Stanoszek, Doody's Book Reviews, April 19, 2019)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The third edition of this text entails a comprehensive review of pathophysiology, including the recognition of physiologic conditions and
pathologic entities, such as polyps, endometritis, gestational trophoblastic diseases, endometrial hyperplasia, and carcinoma. It also
serves as an update on the use of current terminology and ancillary tools. Th e authors incorporate signifi cant updates related to the
expansion of their knowledge of old and newer entities and the use of immunohistochemical and molecular ancillary techniques to assist in
accurately diagnosing endometrial biopsies. Th e chapters also include recommendations and suggestions of appropriate terminology for a
pathology report, as well as specifi c pitfalls, mimickers and confounding factors in the diagnosis of endometrial samples, such as surface
metaplasias, cytoplasmic changes, and endocervical contaminants. The complicated subject of hyperplasia and cancer precursors is discussed
at length with an expanded commentary on the application of the term endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) and how it
relates to the traditional classifi cation of endometrial hyperplasia. Additionally, a substantial number of new, richly colored images
helps readers fully understand and confi dently classify such complex specimens.

The newest edition of Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies and Curettings serves as a useful resource not only for pathologists in training
and practicing pathologists, but also to experienced physicians, other health care providers and researchers that deal with and are interested
in endometrial pathology.
