This book contains a compilation of high-yield, at-a-glance summaries in quick reference format for various topics that are frequently encountered by pathologists in the daily practice or on the boards. The focus is not organ-based histologic criteria, but rather everything else that goes into pathologic diagnoses but is difficult to keep committed to memory. The emphasis is on immunohistochemistry, special stains, grading systems, molecular markers, tumor syndromes, and helpful clinical references. Also included are morphologic summaries that encompass high-yield material cutting across all organ systems, such as an illustrated guide for microorganisms, tumor differentials, and an illustrated glossary of pathologic descriptors.
The book has a unique format in that the information is presented primarily in tables and diagrams accompanied by brief and to-the-point explanatory text. The guiding principle was to boil the information down to the essentials but with just enough commentary to be accessible to a newcomer to pathology and to serve as a quick reference to a practicing pathologist.
In the 7 years since its initial publication, there have been considerable advances in surgical pathology, particularly immunohistochemical stains, molecular diagnostics, and histologic grading schemes. In the second edition, the content has been thoroughly updated to incorporate these developments, while retaining the overall scope and concise format of the first edition. In addition, the reader will find summaries for many new topics as well as multiple new cartoon illustrations and diagrams.
For many years, we have noticed the lack of a concise, yet comprehensive, question-and-answer style book that thoroughly covers hematology, hematolymphoid neoplasms, and coagulation disorders and renders them in an easy and digestible manner to the busy hematopathologists and fellows in training. There are many excellent textbooks written by experts in the field, which are indispensable. However, and for sake of board exam cramming, these may not be the preferred source for studying. Most of the available hematology question books are case series-based, and the authors refrain from following or maintaining a board-exam style. Our Hematopathology Q Bank: Board-Style Review will be the first Q bank in the field that comprehensively covers adult and pediatric disorders in hematology, hematopathology, and coagulation subspecialties. The book falls in eleven chapters and includes 380 written questions (without images), 230 question with high-resolution images, nearly 100 short case series and case studies, and 40 tables, charts, and algorisms. The contents cover both benign (reactive) and neoplastic conditions in hematopoietic and lymphoid systems, hematology-related cytology and FNA challenging cases, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics. This is in addition to coagulation disorders and some laboratory management. The bank is full of interpretation rules and differential-diagnosis tables and fact sheets for easy board cramming. Materials have been derived from up-to-date textbooks including the revised fourth edition of WHO classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid tumors, articles, and real-time cases encountered in the laboratory.
It is our sincere hope that this hematopathology review book fills a gap in field, and that hematopathology fellows in training and attending clinical pathologists find it a wealth of up-to-date information presented in an easy way. We hope they find this Q bank of utmost benefit in preparing for exams including both clinical pathology and hematopathology-subspecialty exams.
This textbook is a step-by-step, at the bench, real-world approach to grossing a wide variety of surgical cases. Each figure is produced directly from the bench during the grossing process with the associated dictation. These specimens contain the imperfections of real-life cases with ample illustrations drawn by renown medical illustrationist Kyle Cunningham. This book is not a bullet-point list of what to do but rather a step-by-step, illustrated approach to grossing each specimen. This manual can be utilized at the bench with any specimen at any time. Key features include step-by-step photographic documentation of optimal methods for handling gross specimens commonly seen in the pathology laboratory, medical illustrations that highlight key anatomic features, and tips and tricks to produce optimal diagnostic sections for pathologic diagnosis. Each chapter also includes multiple choice questions to help apply the knowledge and skills learned in the readings.
This text is not just a reference manual. It is a deliberative teaching manual meant to be taken into the lab and used at the bench providing consultative support. The text is specifically focused on pathology residents learning grossing skills when no one is around to answer questions.
Currently, there are four main surgical grossing texts on the market. Those texts contain drawings and characterizations of the perfect organ and a list of sections needed for each specimen. These books do not focus on the methodology for taking the most appropriate sections with a focus on handling imperfect specimens. Manual of Pathologic Grossing is the only text that includes photographs of each step in the grossing process. The photos are accompanied by a step-by-step text of demonstrating how and why each section was taken.

The mortality of ovarian cancer has not changed in the last 30 years. Approximately 70% of the patients die of disease. The reason for this high mortality, in spite of all the new developments in medicine, is that we do not understand the disease, and therefore we approach ovarian cancer like most epithelial neoplasms. In this book Elvio G. Silva demonstrates that ovarian cancer is a hormone-related neoplasm, and the dissemination of the tumor in the peritoneum, in most cases, represents multicentric disease. In addition to the traditional cancer therapies it is necessary to correct the abnormal hormones to improve the prognosis, and probably to prevent this dreadful disease. Emphasis is also placed on understanding embryology as a necessary step to comprehend ovarian cancer. Fere Ex Nihilo presents a refreshingly new approach to tackle an age-old enemy.
This book is a memoir that tells stories taken from the life of a pathologist in the course of 42 years of practice in academic centers and community hospitals, with special attention to cancer diagnosis. Some stories are about the events associated with training the residents in pathology, or they reveal the mysteries of basic science research with occasional aberrations in scientific publications. There are episodes from 25 years of directorship in a hospital Department of Pathology and in private clinical laboratories. The memoir also speaks of interesting social encounters, with observation of certain attitudes in a segment of society. There are also comments about the great changes in medical practice over the past fifty years, changes which transformed medicine into healthcare and introduced the concept of managed care, a system where the physician has become an employee controlled by business managers who often limit the time that is allowed for a patient visit.
