Sommario/riassunto

This book fills the gap in understanding of pathology of the female genital tract that is often underemphasized during training. Normal histology and pathology of abnormal conditions for the lower and upper genital tract are concisely covered and with over 200 color illustrations. Topics included are inflammatory diseases, iatrogenic conditions, changes associated with menopause, and benign and malignant neoplasms. The text is concise and practical and it includes



clinicopathologic correlations. Breakout tables in each chapter cover information the clinician should be specifically aware of, as well as pathology issues and challenges that may result in a report less specific than the clinician is expecting.   Written by an expert practicing gynecologic pathologist  certified in both obstetrics and gynecology, this book is the ultimate resource for obstetricians, gynecologists, other OB-Gyn practitioners, general pathologists, and trainees.
