Authored by the esteemed Dr. Tricia A. Numan, co-author of “Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies and Curettings, A Practical Approach,” this highly illustrated atlas offers a practical and efficient guide to precise diagnosis in gynecologic pathology. Emulating the daily sign-out process, it utilizes a proven, pattern-based approach to help clinicians interpret challenging cases with confidence.
The atlas serves as an invaluable “scope-side guide,” featuring a wealth of clinical and educational features to aid in reaching correct diagnoses and assembling thorough pathology reports. More than 1,400 high-quality photomicrographs beautifully capture the subtle morphologic spectrum and relevant immunohistochemical staining patterns encountered in gynecologic pathology, encompassing tumor types, non-tumor pathology, artifacts, and normal histology. Each image is thoughtfully captioned, highlighting key diagnostic considerations and revealing hidden clues.
Practical tools are strategically integrated throughout the text to enhance your diagnostic process, including tables emphasizing critical clinicopathologic features, management implications, and therapeutic options. Discussions on incorporating molecular tools and diagnostic algorithms further empower your decision-making. Checklists and sample notes streamline pathology reports, while brief reviews of normal histology provide helpful contrasts to subsequent patterns.
Gain invaluable insights from real-life sign-out experiences through “Pearls and Pitfalls” and “Near Misses” sections. Find solutions to common diagnostic dilemmas in the “Frequently Asked Questions” segments. Master the art of synthesizing complex topics with template “Sample Note” sections.
To further enrich your learning, a comprehensive quiz presents high-yield, board-style teaching topics for practical application.
With its wealth of visual and educational resources, Atlas of Gynecologic Pathology: A Pattern-Based Approach is a must-have reference for efficient and accurate diagnosis in gynecologic pathology.
