As the first volume in the \u003ci\u003eEssentials of Diagnostic Gynecological Pathology\u003c\/i\u003e series sponsored by the British Association of Gynecological Pathologists, \u003ci\u003ePathology of the Vulva and Vagina\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the very few dealing wholly with this subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePathology of the Vulva and Vagina\u003c\/i\u003e introduces the topic with a stylishly illustrated description of the embryology and development which is fundamental to understanding the pathogenesis and symptomatology.  Subsequent chapters cover infections and non-infectious dermatoses, specifying those that can predispose to cancer. The precancerous conditions of vulval intraepithelial neoplasia, melanocytic proliferations and extra-mammary Paget’s disease are integrated respectively with accounts of human papilloma virus, malignant melanoma and recent awareness of ano-genital mammary-like glands. Advances in the recognition of potentially confusing benign conditions, prognosis and staging update the pathology of squamous and adenocarcinoma in these organs. The difficulties of sentinel node biopsy are explored and a comprehensive chapter clearly highlights the difficult differential diagnosis of mesenchymal lesions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs most histopathology departments receive many gynecological specimens, \u003ci\u003ePathology of the Vulva and Vagina\u003c\/i\u003e has been written to be useful diagnostically to general as well as specialist gynecological histopathologists and pathologists in training.  Gynecologists, oncologists, dermatologists, genitourinary physicians and cancer nurse specialists will find expert insights here that will help in treatment andcounselling of their patients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447169307\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-85729-757-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 286\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47672179916940,"sku":"9781447169307","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447169307.jpg?v=1776521535","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447169307","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
