I progressi sulla conoscenza delle basi cellulari e biomolecolari della fisiopatologia del basso tratto genitale femminile, gli avanzamenti tecnologici in ambito diagnostico e terapeutico hanno prodotto significativi mutamenti nell'inquadramento clinico e nel management della patologia vaginale, i cui aspetti multidisciplinari richiedono un approccio gestionale integrato. Questa opera, che riunisce il contributo di varie competenze e professionalità, esplora ed analizza vari aspetti: Le basi anatomiche e fisiologiche della vagina; Le alterazioni morfo-funzionali; L'ecosistema vaginale; L'eziopatogenesi delle infezioni batteriche, micotiche e protozoarie più diffuse, con le possibili complicanze ostetriche e ginecologiche; Le infezioni virali; Le lesioni benigne e traumatiche; Le lesioni neoplastiche intraepitelaili; Le neoplasie invasive. È corredata da una vasta iconografia clinica e microscopica ad integrazione dei vari capitoli. Questo libro è articolato in due volumi.

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.

Now in its third edition, this "benchside" reference provides you with a structured diagnostic approach to the features of the placenta most commonly encountered in the investigation of adverse fetal outcomes. Inside, you'll find detailed discussions on cytogenetics and molecular biology as well as the latest developments in coagulopathy, infections, chorioamnionitis, preeclampsia, trophoblastic disease, and twin pregnancies among others. Plus, a new format facilitates information retrieval and new color clinical and pathologic images help you recognize and disagnose lesions better than ever.

This book will cover all major inflammatory, infectious, pre-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases of the upper and lower urinary tract.

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.
