Endocrine Pathology

This reference describes classical approaches to the diagnosis of endocrine diseases and information about modern techniques that enhance the diagnostic ability of the pathologist, drawing on recent work in cytopathology, genetics, and molecular biology. The book offers discussion not only of the classical endocrine organs (pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal) but also of those organs and tissues not normally considered endocrine organs that can give rise to hormonally active proliferations and tumors, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, lung, and placenta. These discussions maintain the philosophy that endocrine hyperplasias and neoplasias reflect systemic disorders. Numerous color photos and images are included. LiVolsi is professor of pathology at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center; Asa is chief of pathology at The Princess Margaret Hospital.
