This edition has been revised to include up-to-date information on the classification, clinical features, prognosis and evaluation of difficult and unusual lesions, as well as common problems encountered in prostate pathology. Topics new to this edition include: the diagnosis of adenosis on needle biopsy; Lupron treated prostate cancer; pseudosarcomatous fribomyxoid tumours; atypical stromal hyperplasia; non-specific granulomatous prostatitis on needle biopsy; multiocular cysts; paraganglia; mesonephric hyperplasia; partial atrophy; mucinous metaplasia; and neuroendocrine differentiation in prostate cancer. In addition, there has been expanded coverage of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and its differential diagnosis; the diagnosis of limited adenocarcinoma on the needle biopsy including both false positives and false negatives; recent findings on the correlation of needle biopsy findings with radical prostatectomy; and a methodological approach to the diagnosis of limited cancer.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This volume ... beautifully covers a wide range of prostatic disorders....Reading this book offers one the distinct sensation of attending a prostatic workshop over a double headed microscope with a pathologist who offers practical insights and detailed observations from a wealth of experience.... This reference is well suited for any practice and is certainly recommended for pathology residency training." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
