Written by three eminent authorities in urologic pathology, this volume is a practical, thorough, and superbly illustrated guide to bladder biopsy interpretation. It begins with normal anatomy and variants of normal histology and then provides comprehensive, current information on all lesions, tumors, and tumor-like lesions. Tables are included to aid in differential diagnosis. Coverage includes the latest World Health Organization and International Society for Urologic Pathology classification system for bladder urothelial neoplasms.

A bound-in CD-ROM contains over 800 full-color images covering the entire spectrum of common and rare lesions, and includes a quiz mode that is ideal for board exam preparation.

Editorial Reviews

Review

American Journal of Surgical Pathology, Volume 29, Issue 1 -- "A clinically relevant, up-to-date, handbook of bladder pathology. This practical handbook has eliminated the minutiae and has, instead, focused only on what is important in the daily handling of bladder biopsy specimens. Pathology residents, practicing general pathologists, and urologic pathologists can all benefit from owning and reading this book. Indeed the greatest strength of this book is its broad scope while maintaining easy readability and clinical relevance and serving as a quick reference. Included with this book is a CD-ROM that contains more than 1200 additional high-quality color images. All of the images on the CD-ROM are referenced within the text as "e-figures". The CD-ROM is easy to navigate and allows the user to zoom in and out of areas of interest. Also included on the CD-ROM is a set of 15 quizzes, which could serve as a good study tool. We highly recommend this book."-American Journal of Surgical Pathology

This review is from: Bladder Biopsy Interpretation (Biopsy Interpretation Series) (Hardcover)

A book I use regularly as a junior pathologist. I wish they had more pictures IN COLOR but otherwise it's a useful text.
