Mammography can be thought of as a (sub)macroscopic "shadow pathology" - confident diagnosis necessitates comprehensive knowledge of breast pathology. The traditional rules of thumb, for example that a regular, rounded shadow means a benign lesion, a radiating structure represents a malignant tumor, and microcalcification indicates biopsy, no longer hold true. This volume aims to explain modern breast pathology to physicians practicing mammography. The over 600 individual illustrations and more than 1,000 references help the reader understand breast morphology. The book is rounded off by a detailed description of the clinical symptoms and a helpful summary of the supplementary diagnostic procedures and the possibilities for treatment.

Very thorough knowledge of breast pathology is a sine qua non for interpretation of breast films ... progress in X-ray diagnosis could only be made by careful comparison of the film with the actual specimen. H.INGLEBY Multiplication of the same e"oneous diagnosis does not make that diagnosis co"ect. J.G.AzZOPARDI Paradoxically enough, our specialty considers the radiologist who mis­ takes a skin fibroma or the calcifications in a sponge kidney for a kid­ ney stone to lack basic knowledge, while the radiologist who imme­ diately calls for the surgeon because of a few white spots on a mammogram is thought to be acting according to the rules of medical practice. Misunderstandings and confusion with regard to breast pathology as well as the comfortable philosophy that superfluous biopsies are the price we have to pay for the early detection of carcinomas have in many places led to a loss of confidence in mammography. Yet this is a meth­ od with which carcinomas can be detected earlier than with any other imaging technique.

Die Mammographie ist eine makroskopisch-submakroskopische "Schatten-Pathologie", so sind - um zuverlässige Diagnosen stellen zu können - auch profunde Kenntnisse der gesamten Mammapathologie notwendig. Die alten Leitsätze, dass beispielsweise ein glattkonturierter Rundschatten benigne, eine strahlige Struktur maligne, mikrokalk P.E. bedeuten, sind nicht mehr allgemein gültig. Dieses Buch macht den mammographierenden Arzt mit der modernen Mammapathologie vertraut. Etwa 400 Abbildungen in über 600 Einzeldarstellungen und mehr als tausend Literaturhinweise helfen dem Leser, die pathologisch-mammographische Morphologie zu verstehen. Ausführliche Darstellung der klinischen Symptome, orientierende Zusammenfassung der ergänzenden diagnostischen Verfahren bzw. der therapeutischen Möglichkeiten vervollständigen das Buch.
