Summary

"Since publication of the first edition in 1995, Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies and Curettings has emerged as the standard diagnostic guide in the field. This completely revised and updated Second Edition fills the need for a practical monograph on endometrial biopsies. Emphasis is placed on aspects of endometrial biopsy interpretation, such as patterns of breakdown, diagnosis of atypical hyperplasia, grading of endometrial carcinoma, and the myriad of benign changes and artifacts. Includes more than 220 illustrations, 77 in full color."--BOOK JACKET.
