Molecular and Cellular Endocrine Pathology
edited by Lucia Stefaneanu; Kalman Kovacs & Hironobu Sasano
Combining the traditional morphological approaches to endocrine pathology with new molecular and cellular information, this book integrates the two standards to present a means of diagnosis using a combination of classic and modern techniques. Each endocrine gland is discussed in a separatechapter and the embryology, anatomy, histology and physiology are described from a molecular standpoint. Emphasis is on immunocytochemical and molecular markers, and how they are used for differential diagnosis. The pathology of each lesion is followed by an explanation of clinical correlations, andwhat is known regarding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of the disease.

Immunohistochemistry is well presented in 14 color pages, and these illustration are not only useful but are examples of spectacular photomicroscopic art. This book is updated and useful for everyday practive of anatomic pathology, and is highlyrecommended for pathologists, endocrinologists, and students of medicine." --Doody's
