Book Description
This book is a reference manual for those pathologists whose work involves them in the interpretation of endometrial biopsies. A full account is given of the appearances of the endometrium during the menstrual cycle, of the effects of hormones, the changes induced by steroid contraceptives and intrauterine devices, of functional disorders and of inflammatory disease. Particular attention is given to the various forms of hyperplasia and neoplasia, with special emphasis being placed upon the differential diagnosis of these conditions. Other chapters deal with sampling techniques, the anatomy and histology of the normal endometrium, a description of the tissue in normal and abnormal pregnancy, and in gestational trophoblastic disease. Biopsy Pathology of the Endometrium will provide the pathologist and gynaecologist with a highly illustrated and practical manual whose high quality photomicrographs will be an indispensable reference during the interpretation of endometrial biopsies.

Thoroughly revised and updated by Professor Fox and Dr Buckley particular attention has been given to new contraceptive preparations, the effects of Tamoxifan, new work on endometrial carcinoma, and new understanding of the effects of abortion and of trophoblastic disease.
