An Anthology of Opthalmolic Classics

After a general chapter on mechanisms of hormone action, chapters detail pathology of glands and endocrine aspects of various body systems, with numerous b&w illustrations. This third edition reflects changes in the field since the second edition in 1982, such as the concepts of DSN and eutopic endocrine functions, and contributions from immunocytochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and cytopathology techniques. Includes new chapters on molecular and genetic basics of endocrine neoplasia, neuroendocrine-Merkel cells of the skin, cytopathology of endocrine organs, and the prostate.
