Noffsinger, Fenoglio-Preiser, Gilinsky Gastrointestinal Diseases

This Fascicle is devoted to benign gastrointestinal diseases and provides an in-depth discussion of many lesions, both common and uncommon. This volume is, for the most part, organized by category of disease rather than by anatomic site. This approach allows Drs. Noffsinger, Fenoglio-Reiser, Maru and Gilinsky to cover each entity comprehensively and avoids redundant descriptions of lesions that occur in multiple regions of the gastrointestinal tract. Each disease entity is discussed from the point of its demographics, pathophysiology, clinical features, gross and microscopic pathology and treatment. Numerous tables facilitate the comparison of diseases and the generation of differential diagnoses. Because of the extreme importance of clinical and endoscopic correlation with the interpretation of gastrointestinal pathologic specimens, as a practicing gastroenterologist, Dr. Gilinsky has added endoscopic pictures and provided clinical insights, critical to the understanding of gastrointestinal diseases. The authors’ discussion of molecular alterations enhances understanding of the pathophysiology and genetic predispositions to gastrointestinal diseases that occur as a result of genetic loss, mutation, over-expression of genes, or genetic polymorphisms.
