Diagnostic Atlas of Genitourinary Pathology

This book will cover all major inflammatory, infectious, pre-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases of the upper and lower urinary tract. Over 1,000 four color images will provide the diagnostic pathologist in training and in practice with a comprehensive visual reference to assist in the recognition and diagnosis of benign and malignant genitourinary disorders. Whenever, diagnostically useful, the pathologic images are correlated with radiographic modalities. The illustrations are accompanied throughout by a concise text expertly highlighting the histopathologic and cytologic features of genitourinary biopsy and resection specimens. Particular emphasis is placed on clinicopathologic correlations and on what the urologist expects in regard to the pathologic report.Over 1,000 superb, full-color photographs of genitourinary pathology-most collected by Dr. Myron Tannenbaum over a 30-year period, all of outstanding photographic quality-provide an ideal basis for comparison to the specimens seen in the laboratory.Histopathologic and cytologic features are correlated throughout, providing all the tools needed for a complete diagnostic work-up of surgically and endoscopically obtained specimens.A consistent format outlines each disease entity's definition - clinical appearance - key histopathologic and cytologic features - and differential diagnosis, making reference quick and efficient.Practical coverage emphasizes clinicopathologic correlations and focuses on the information that urologists expect to see on a pathologic report.Correlations with diagnostic imaging findings are presented wherever diagnostically useful. Diagnostic "pearls" and "pitfalls" help readers avoid incorrect and inaccurate diagnoses.
