Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2022!Extensively revised to bring you up to date with new pathologic entities, new treatment methods, and much more, Biopsy Interpretation of the Thyroid, Second Edition is a highly practical guide to neck biopsies that involve thyroid tissue. Presented in a reader-friendly format, it uses a pattern-based approach to the accurate interpretation of thyroid lesions – from normal anatomy and histology to a wide range of both common and unusual findings. Clinical implications of each diagnosis are highlighted throughout the text to guide therapeutic decision making.Key Features:Covers common thyroid biopsies, both cytology and surgical specimens, and uncommon lesions that may be mistaken for thyroid.Includes state-of-the-art information on immunohistochemistry, molecular diagnostics, and flow cytometry.Reviews the advantages and disadvantages of cytologic and histologic biopsies in varying circumstances.Discusses normal structure and function; the various techniques that are used to obtain, process and interpret biopsies; and the diagnostic criteria that are applied to the various pathological disorders of the thyroid.Exclusive online content includes the fully searchable text, an image bank with over 400 additional e-figures and a test bank ideal for board exam preparation.Now with the print edition, enjoy the bundled interactive eBook edition, which can be downloaded to your tablet and smartphone or accessed online and includes features like: Complete content with enhanced navigationPowerful search tools and smart navigation cross-links that pull results from content in the book, your notes, and even the webCross-linked pages, references, and more for easy navigationHighlighting tool for easier reference of key content throughout the textAbility to take and share notes with friends and colleaguesQuick reference tabbing to save your favorite content for future use

The tumors that arise in the adrenals and extra-adrenal paraganglia are not only structurally and hormonally complex, they are also intriguing at the molecular level, where many are recognized as components and harbingers of familial genetic tumor syndromes encompassing a variety of mutations affecting diverse signaling pathways. Building on the foundation laid by the fourth series volume, this fifth series ARP Fascicle summarizes and illustrates the large body of knowledge in this field to provide a comprehensive reference for the clinical, biochemical, radiologic, histologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of the various tumors and tumor-like conditions that affect the adrenals and extra-adrenal paraganglia.

Free digital access available with every print purchase. See inside the book for more details.This book has built on the work that was presented in the previous Fascicles of the Third and Fourth Series. The authors' vast experience has led to new understanding of many aspects of pituitary pathology. With modern immunostaining and molecular techniques, classification of pituitary disease is becoming easier. Furthermore, the availability of targeted therapies has augmented the role of the pathologist in determining an accurate diagnosis. This updated volume addresses modern techniques and their application to treatment of pituitary neoplasms but retains the detailed foundation of morphology in a lushly illustrated tome, the cornerstone of the AFIP fascicles.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms comprise a large family of proliferative lesions that involve almost every part of the body. Our understanding of their cells of origin as well as the pathology, pathophysiology and genetics of these neoplasms has made tremendous advances in the last few decades.  While they are often discussed as separate entities in textbooks of gastroenteropancreatic pathology and pulmonary pathology, their scope is much broader. The book conveys the similarities and differences of these fascinating tumors that may be found from the hypothalamus and pituitary to the rectum, and in soft tissue as well as in many organs.  Written by experts in the field, the authors emphasize their structural, functional, predictive and prognostic features and attempt to provide the clinical context that allows improved diagnosis and therapy while building on the genetics that clarifies patterns of inheritance and predisposition to tumor development through precursor lesions.The Spectrum of Neuroendocrine Neoplasia provides a broad overview of neuroendocrine neoplasms using a practical approach to diagnosis, histological classification and therapy, and presents the most important and significant developments of the technologies used to diagnose, classify and treat them.
