Diagnostic Atlas of Genitourinary Pathology, 1e

Twenty-five internationally respected authorities present today's most comprehensive visual guidance on the diagnosis of all major inflammatory, infectious, pre-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases of the upper and lower urinary tract. Over 1,000 extraordinary full-color photographs, photomicrographs, and radiologic images capture the appearance of the full range of genitourinary disease findings.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.The Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology Series answers the call for fresh, affordable, and easy-to-use guidance. Each region-specific volume provides all of the most essential information on the pathologic entities encountered in practice. Series Editor: John R. Goldblum, MD, FACP, FASCP, FACG
