The third edition of this text entails a comprehensive review of pathophysiology, including the recognition of physiologic conditions and

pathologic entities, such as polyps, endometritis, gestational trophoblastic diseases, endometrial hyperplasia, and carcinoma. It also

serves as an update on the use of current terminology and ancillary tools. Th e authors incorporate signifi cant updates related to the

expansion of their knowledge of old and newer entities and the use of immunohistochemical and molecular ancillary techniques to assist in

accurately diagnosing endometrial biopsies. Th e chapters also include recommendations and suggestions of appropriate terminology for a

pathology report, as well as specifi c pitfalls, mimickers and confounding factors in the diagnosis of endometrial samples, such as surface

metaplasias, cytoplasmic changes, and endocervical contaminants. The complicated subject of hyperplasia and cancer precursors is discussed

at length with an expanded commentary on the application of the term endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) and how it

relates to the traditional classifi cation of endometrial hyperplasia. Additionally, a substantial number of new, richly colored images

helps readers fully understand and confi dently classify such complex specimens.

The newest edition of Diagnosis of Endometrial Biopsies and Curettings serves as a useful resource not only for pathologists in training

and practicing pathologists, but also to experienced physicians, other health care providers and researchers that deal with and are interested

in endometrial pathology.
