Lopez-Beltran, Cheng Genitourinary Pathology

A new volume in the Surgical Pathology: Case-Based Approach to Diagnosis series, Genitourinary Pathology offers a practical, real-world approach to this complex area of surgical pathology. Actual cases, highlighted by hundreds of high-quality clinical and histologic photographs, help you learn and retain key information, including which pathologic findings are clinically significant and which are not. Useful as both an everyday bench-side reference and as an authoritative review for certification and recertification exams, this resource uses diagnostically relevant cases to teach how to evaluate and interpret even the most challenging genitourinary specimens.

• Uses authentic diagnostic cases to guide you through clinicopathologic correlation, differential diagnosis, appropriate use of immunohistochemistry and molecular testing, and evidence-based classification
• Contains more than 700 high-quality, full color illustrations, offering a complete visual guide to both neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases across the kidney, urinary tract, prostate, testis, penis, scrotum, and adrenal glands
• Discusses advances in molecular diagnostic testing, its capabilities and its limitations, including targeted and personalized medicine
• Incorporates current WHO classifications, AJCC TNM staging, CAP reporting recommendations, and ICCR guidance, as well as new diagnostic biomarkers and their utility in differential diagnosis, newly described variants, and new histologic entities
• Provides relevant data from ancillary techniques such as immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics, giving you the tools required to master the latest breakthroughs in diagnostic technology
• Offers practical guidance on differential diagnosis of benign versus malignant mimics, pathologic evaluation of treatment-related changes, microscopic evaluation, diagnostic pitfalls, and much more
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish after the publication date
