Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies and Curettings

Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies presents a logical approach to formulating a pathologic diagnosis from the diverse array of tissue received in the surgical pathology laboratory. The authors are two of the most prominent gynecologic pathologists, and this book is derived from their long-running Short Course presented at the International Academy of Pathology. It is organized around clinical entities, with special emphasis on patient age and other clinical factors that impact diagnosis and pragmatic, focusing on the questions the morphologist is apt to encounter and the clinician is likely to raise. Illustrations show typical artifacts and distortion and explain their impact on diagnostic interpretation. Each chapter includes a section on "Clinical Queries and Reporting" that summarizes the features that must be discussed in the final pathology report.
