Designed as an easy-to-use and comprehensive reference for practicing pathologists and pathologists-in-training, Diagnostic Pathology: Gynecologic Pathology is a highly anticipated title in the Diagnostic Pathology series offered by Amirsys. This textbook is filled with bulleted, but highly detailed, text on common and uncommon entities involving the female genital tract including tumor and tumor-like lesions. It is filled with superior medical images, including gross and microscopic pathology, a wide range of supportive immunohistochemistry, and detailed medical illustrations with numerous examples of morphologic findings. For each site within the female genital tract, you’ll find reference to important anatomic, histologic, and specimen handling issues including those encountered at the time of frozen section. In addition, uncommonly discussed topics such as inflammatory diseases of the vulva are covered by experts in the field of dermatopathology. You’ll also find new information on classification of squamous lesions of the distal female genital tract. Moreover, each chapter will cover the role of immunohistochemistry as well as other ancillary techniques in the differential diagnosis in gynecologic pathology. This volume is intended to be a concise, user friendly, superior diagnostic textbook for the busy practicing pathologist as well as pathology residents and fellows in training.

When a patient is under anesthesia, every second counts. An intraoperative consultation provides essential information to ensure every operation has a successful conclusion. The stakes are high and the challenges are great – no special stains, limited access for consultation with colleagues, often suboptimal slide preparation, and cases that may be out of a pathologist’s normal sphere of practice.

Diagnostic Pathology: Intraoperative Consultation is designed to be the best resource when pathologists need assistance. No time is wasted looking for information because each chapter is directed to a specific question posed by a surgeon, such as “Does this patient have pancreatic cancer?”, “Is there an intrauterine pregnancy?”, “Does this patient have lung cancer?”, or “Are the margins free of carcinoma?”.  The clinical setting and what the surgeon needs to know – and why – are explained.  Specimen processing (gross and microscopic), tissue selection, and reporting of results are detailed.  All major entities in the differential diagnosis are described and shown in photographs. Major pitfalls are discussed and illustrated.  This is the book every pathologist will want at their side the next time a page calls them to the frozen section room.

Lastly, this book features all the classic benefits of all Amirsys® titles, including time-saving bulleted text, key facts in each chapter, stunning annotated images, extensive index, and Amirsys eBook Advantage™, an online version of the print book with larger images and fully searchable text.

Diagnostic Pathology: Cytopathology is written in the easy-to-access format popularized by the Amirsys surgical pathology, histology, and radiology textbooks. It is written with the busy cytopathology professional in mind. The “key facts” provide quick criteria needed for diagnosis or adequacy evaluation at the time of procedure, whereas the rest of the chapter is written in a consistent, succinct, synoptic format, which is an easy read and full of information.

The book covers all aspects of cytology, from gynecologic to exfoliative and fine-needle aspiration, including neuropathology squash preparations, ophthalmic cytopathology, quality improvement, instrumentation, immunohistochemistry, and molecular testing as they apply to cytology, cell blocks, and miniscule biopsy specimens.

As with all of the books within the Diagnostic Pathology, in-house series, this book comes with an eBook to further enhance your experience.
