This second edition in the Biopsy Interpretation Series addresses biopsies of the uterine cervix and corpus (endometrium) all in one text. It provides a practical approach to the most common biopsies encountered by surgical pathologists. Normal histology, non-neoplastic conditions, and neoplasia of the cervix and uterine body are covered using up-to-date terminology and concepts. Emphasis is on morphologic features and immunohistochemistry in the diagnostic material. Ancillary tests such as in situ hybridization for HPV and molecular studies for microsatellite instability assessment and molar pregnancy will be included. Close attention is given to differential diagnoses, including benign mimics of tumors. New to this edition will be a section on section of metastatic tumors.
