This comprehensive yet practical text reviews the pathology of neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions of the pleura and peritoneum, with a particular focus on mesothelioma. The anatomy and embryology of serous membranes are discussed, and the causes, epidemiology, and clinical and radiologic features of malignant mesothelioma are reviewed. A comprehensive review of immunostains used for diagnosing serous membrane lesions is given, current treatment options for patients are outlined. The markers of asbestos exposure and their significance are also assessed. The pathology of non-neoplastic conditions of serous membranes, from peritoneal cysts and endometriosis to deciduosis and gliomatosis peritonei are also covered, as are lymphomas and soft tissue tumors in serous membranes. This makes Practical Pathology of Serous Membranes an essential resource for effective diagnosis.

Since the 4th Series of this Fascicle was published, there have been considerable advances in our understanding of tumors within the serosal membranes, in particular the classification of mesothelial tumors and their genetics. This 5th Series Fascicle aligns with the terminology recommended by the WHO in its most recent edition for pleural and pericardial tumors, with expansion to reflect serosal membranes at other sites and including recognition of mesothelioma in situ.

Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2025!Virtually all aspects of the pathology in children are unique in pathogenesis and histogenesis from the moment of conception to adolescence whose range includes developmental anomalies to dysembryonic neoplasms. Stocker and Dehner’s Pediatric Pathology provides encyclopedic but very usable coverage of this complex subspecialty, detailing all major aspects of the pathologic anatomy of childhood disorders ranging from chromosomal syndromes and infections to forensic pathology. Upholding the standard of excellence established in previous editions, this thoroughly updated Fifth Edition offers the in-depth, richly illustrated guidance you need to confidently evaluate and dependably report your findings.   Contains extensive updates throughout, including advances in diagnosis and targeted therapy, molecular and genetic findings, prognostic indicators, and clinically relevant discoveries.  Focuses on key pathologic findings as well as the latest molecular genetic tools and the role that these findings play in pathologic diagnosis.   Provides authoritative answers on everything from how to perform a pediatric autopsy or apply the latest molecular techniques, to diagnosing chromosomal abnormalities, congenital anomalies and malformation syndromes, inborn errors of metabolism, and congenital and acquired systemic infectious diseases; from how to approach forensic pathology and transplant pathology, to evaluating the pathologies of each organ system and pediatric tumors with the latest in staging and risk assessment.  Offers quick access to essential data with 50 appendices containing multiple charts and tables in the areas of Growth and Development, Organ Weights and Body Measurements, and Placenta.  Features an intuitive organization by disease classification and organ system, highlighted by more than 1,400 gross and microscopic images, including 1,200 in full color.  Enrich Your eBook Reading Experience Read directly on your preferred device(s), such as computer, tablet, or smartphone.  Easily convert to audiobook, powering your content with natural language text-to-speech.

Offering expert guidance on the practical use of the frozen section in the management of clinical problems, Biopsy Interpretation: The Frozen Section, 3rd Edition, is a highly illustrated, authoritative reference on this intraoperative consultative option. New editor Dr. Nicole A. Cipriani, along with Drs. Aliya N. Husain, Jerome B. Taxy, and a team of expert contributing authors, focus not only on how to view and interpret a slide, but also when to do a frozen section. Fully up to date with extensive new content and images, this third edition emphasizes intraoperative consultation and patient management, explaining the role the general surgical pathologist can play in the treatment of patients. Focuses on the assets and limitations of the frozen section including the practical techniques of execution, interpretation, and the communication of results, with emphasis on the morphologic expertise of the surgical pathologist in standard hematoxylin and eosin sections and imprints. New or thoroughly updated content in multiple critical areas, including infectious disease, female genital tract, head and neck, bone and soft tissue, and CNS. Features more than 400 full-color illustrations (many of actual frozen sections, with artifacts). Over 40 additional images for additional perspectives of entities covered in the print book. PLUS 2 videos showing sectioning of mucosal ellipses for intraoperative evaluation and creating smears for evaluation of fresh lesions    Enrich Your eBook Reading ExperienceRead directly on your preferred device(s),such as computer, tablet, or smartphone.
