Synopsis

The second edition of this book is the result of collaborative efforts of pathologists from 9 countries. It is more extensive than the previous edition published in 1977. The basic histological classification of the various categories has been retained since it has gained world-wide popularity; however, the individual categories have been described in more detail. A number of new entities have been included: placental site trophoblastic tumour, large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumour, cystic granulosa cell tumour of infancy, tumour of ovarian epithelial type, testicular lesion of adrenogenital syndrome, and testicular lesion of androgen insensitivity syndrome. Since the first edition, a number of tumour markers have been used in clinical diagnosis, staging, and monitoring the response to therapy. The cells of origin of the two widely used markers have been identified. This revised edition contains 175 colour photomicrographs.
