Atlas of Diagnostic Pathology of the Cervix: A Case-Based Approach

This book is meant to be a guide for trainees and more experienced practitioners by providing
the most accurate and data-driven diagnoses of cervical lesions of various types. Most
general pathologists see large numbers of cervical lesions in routine practice, but the field is
changing rapidly, particularly regarding the impact of diagnostic criteria and classification on
patient management.
In this book, we have aimed to provide the most relevant diagnostic criteria and diagnosticalgorithms using ancillary tests for every cervical lesion. After a short description of each
entity, the reader will be given multiple illustrated examples of basic as well as more difficult
cases, and this case-based learning method will provide the most important clues for reaching
the correct diagnosis.
This book is divided into thirteen chapters with coverage of both non-neoplastic and neoplasticconditions of the cervix. We have included the most important and frequent benign and
malignant lesions of the cervix. We have also included a separate chapter dedicated to normal
cervical anatomy and histology, which is extremely important for understanding cervical
pathology. Sampling is essential in cervical pathology, and for this reason, we have demonstrated
the grossing method in a separate chapter.
We hope that both pathologists and clinicians with a particular interest in this area will findthis book interesting and useful
