Reviews

From the reviews of the sixth edition:

"A comprehensive gynecologic pathology textbook, this edition has numerous upgrades and updates from the 2002 edition. ... This book is superb for pathologists in training (residents and fellows), but it is practicing surgical pathologists who will find it most useful. ... A beautifully illustrated and extensively updated essential reference, this sixth edition is a must-have for practicing pathologists who interpret gynecologic specimens. ... this logically organized, practically useful book is well worth the investment and solidifies its position on the pathologist's desk."
