The tumors that arise in the adrenals and extra-adrenal paraganglia are not only structurally and hormonally complex, they are also intriguing at the molecular level, where many are recognized as components and harbingers of familial genetic tumor syndromes encompassing a variety of mutations affecting diverse signaling pathways. Building on the ......
This atlas was written for general pathologists, dermatopathologists, and pathologists in training with an interest in practical diagnostic issues in the pathology of melanocytic tumors. The focus of this fascicle is on microscopic clues for diagnosis, in particular for the distinction of melanocytic nevi from melanoma. The authors also discuss ......

The complexity of ovary and fallopian tube pathology is striking, with dozens of tumor types. There is a greater appreciation now of the importance of hereditary cancer syndromes in ovarian and tubal malignancies, as two common autosomal dominant hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes include carcinomas of ovary or fallopian tube. This book is ......
