Here is today's most reliable, practical source of guidance on the diagnosis of both neoplastic and non-neoplas¬tic lesions of the female reproductive tract. This book provides all of the assistance needed to arrive at accurate diagnoses and relevant clinical prognoses through an examination of a specimen's distinct pathologic features and morphologic patterns and landmarks. More than 2,000 outstanding photographs and photomicrographs capture the distinct appear¬ance of a full range of normal and abnormal findings.

• Provides distinct diagnostic/differential diagnostic criteria for any potential obstetric/gynecologic specimen encountered in practice.
• Integrates exfoliative cytology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular/genetic testing together with findings gleaned from the traditional open surgical biopsy.
• Covers the cytologic features of specimens taken from the uterine cervix and corpus, and adheres to the new Bethesda classification of these lesions.
• Offers more than 2,000 photographs and photomicrographs (1,500 in full color), ideal for side-by-side comparison to the specimens seen in the laboratory.
