Riassunto:

Pathology of the Bladder, a new volume in the Major Problems in Pathology series, represents a comprehensive monograph on the pathology of the urinary bladder together with its associated tissue in both genders. It explores the contemporary understanding of the complex embryological reorganization occurring early in the intrauterine life of the developing human and continuing expansion of molecular diagnostics extending through the full range of clinical and pathologic findings encountered in practice. It defines their diagnostic features and criteria, and presents effective strategies for solving diagnostic challenges.

• Covers inflammatory and neoplastic conditions in both classic histopathologic terms as well as functional, genetic and molecular.
• Offers comprehensive updates throughout to reflect the very latest developments in the field.
• Multi-authored resource with contributions from some of the most informed investigators in their specialized fields of urological study.
• Includes 236 full color illustrations to clarify key concepts.
• Covers both the structural and functional unit of the urinary bladder together with its associated tissues in both genders.
• Comprehensive focus on bladder pathology to include relevant molecular biology.
