Description
Book SynopsisClosely mirroring the daily sign-out process,
Atlas of Gynecologic Pathology: A Pattern-Based Approach, by Dr. Tricia A. Numan (co-author of
Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies and Curettings, A Practical Approach), is a highly illustrated, efficient guide to accurate diagnosis. This practical reference uses a proven, pattern-based approach to clearly explain how to interpret challenging cases by highlighting red flags in the clinical chart and locating hidden clues in the slides. Useful as a daily “scope-side guide,” it features numerous clinical and educational features that help you find pertinent information, reach a correct diagnosis, and assemble a thorough and streamlined pathology report.
More than 1,400 high-quality photomicrographs capture the subtle morphologic spectrum and if applicable, pertinent immunohistochemical staining patterns encountered in gynecologic pathology, including variations of tumor types, non-tumor pathology, artifacts, and normal histology. Each image is captioned with key diagnostic considerations and includes call-outs showing subtle features and diagnostic clues.
