Springer Diagnostic Electron Microscopy A Text/Atlas by Richard G. Dickersin

This text atlas, now in its second edition, presents in simplest form the basic diagnostic criteria used by the electron microscopist in studying neoplasms and other diseases encountered in the routine practice of pathology. Every field of electron microscopy is covered and low magnification plates are juxtaposed with higher magnifications to illustrate diagnostic features._x000D_The largest section of the book is devoted to neoplasms as this is the area in which most diagnostic problems occur. Renal glomerular disease is another important category in which ultrastructural study may be critical in diagnosis; infectious diseases, especially those of viral, protozoan, and unusual bacterial etiologies, are a third area in which electron microscopy may be used to establish or susbstantiate a diagnosis. All of these areas are comprehensively covered with concise, readable text and more than 800 first-quality images. This book is the preeminent reference for pathologists needing current information on the role of ultrastructure in diagnostic pathology._x000D_ Table of contents :- _x000D_ Contents Preface _x000D_ Acknowledgments _x000D_ Contributors CHAPTER 1_x000D_ Normal Cell Ultrastructure and Function _x000D_ Cytoplasmic Organelles _x000D_ Cytoskeleton (Cytoplasmic Matrix Structures) _x000D_ Cytoplasmic Inclusions _x000D_ Nuclear Organelles _x000D_ Organization of Organelles Within the Cell _x000D_ Cell Attachment Sites CHAPTER 2_x000D_ Selective Embryology _x000D_ Embryogenesis from Fertilization Through Three Weeks _x000D_ Differentiation of the Paraxial Mesoderm _x000D_ Differentiation of the Intermediate Mesoderm _x000D_ Differentiation of the Lateral Mesoderm _x000D_ Comparison of Embryonic Mesodermal Differentiation with Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma, Wilms' Tumor, and Mesothelioma CHAPTER 3_x000D_ Large Cell Neoplasms _x000D_ Carcinoma _x000D_ Adenocarcinoma (and Adenoma) _x000D_ Squamous Cell Carcinoma _x000D_ Transitional Cell (Urothelial) Carcinoma _x000D_ Undifferentiated Carcinoma _x000D_ Melanoma _x000D_ Mesothelioma _x000D_ Lymphoma _x000D_ Histiocytic Disorders _x000D_ Macrophagic Lesions _x000D_ Dendritic Cell Lesions _x000D_ Mastocytosis and Mastocytoma CHAPTER 4_x000D_ Small Cell Neoplasms _x000D_ Neuroendocrine Carcinoma _x000D_ Neuroblastoma _x000D_ Ewing's Sarcoma _x000D_ Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor _x000D_ Embryonal and Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma _x000D_ Rhabdoid Tumor _x000D_ Nephroblastoma (Wilms' Tumor) _x000D_ Lymphoma (Small Cell) _x000D_ Plasmacytoma _x000D_ Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor with Divergent Differentiation _x000D_ Small Cell Osteosarcoma _x000D_ Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma CHAPTER 5_x000D_ Leukemias _x000D_ Myelocytic Leukemia _x000D_ Monocytic and Myelomonocytic Leukemia _x000D_ Lymphocytic Leukemia _x000D_ Erythrocytic Leukemia _x000D_ Megakaryocytic Leukemia _x000D_ Hairy Cell Leukemia (Leukemic Reticuloendotheliosis) CHAPTER 6_x000D_ Spindle Cell Neoplasms and Their Epithelioid Variants _x000D_ Fibrous Neoplasms _x000D_ Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma _x000D_ Cartilaginous Neoplasms _x000D_ Osteoblastoma and Osteosarcoma _x000D_ Synovial Sarcoma _x000D_ Adipose Neoplasms _x000D_ Smooth Muscle Neoplasms _x000D_ Skeletal Muscle Neoplasms _x000D_ Vascular Neoplasms_x000D_ Hemangiopericytoma _x000D_ Schwannoma and Malignant Schwannoma _x000D_ Granular Cell Tumor _x000D_ Neurofibroma _x000D_ Sarcomatoid (Spindle Cell) Carcinoma _x000D_ Sarcomatous Thymoma, Melanoma, and Mesothelioma CHAPTER 7_x000D_ Gonadal and Related Neoplasms _x000D_ Surface Epithelial-Stromal Tumors of the Ovary _x000D_ Serous Tumors _x000D_ Mucinous Tumors _x000D_ Endometrioid Tumors _x000D_ Clear Cell Tumors _x000D_ Transitional Cell Tumors (Brenner and Non-Brenner Types) _x000D_ Squamous Cell Tumors (Epidermoid Cyst and Squamous Cell Carcinoma) _x000D_ Mixed Epithelial Tumors _x000D_ Undifferentiated Carcinoma _x000D_ Sex Cord-Stromal Tumors _x000D_ Granulosa Cell Tumor _x000D_ Thecoma _x000D_ Fibroma _x000D_ Signet-Ring Stromal and Related Tumors _x000D_ Sertoli-Stromal Cell Tumors (Androblastomas) _x000D_ Sex Cord Tumors with Annular Tubules _x000D_ Gynandroblastoma _x000D_ Sex Cord-Stromal Tumors Unclassified _x000D_ Steroid (Lipid) Cell Tumors _x000D_ Germ Cell Tumors _x000D_ Dysgerminoma (Seminoma) _x000D_ Yolk Sac Tumor (Endodermal Sinus Tumor) _x000D_ Embryonal Carcinoma _x000D_ Choriocarcinoma and Placental Site Tumor (and Normal Placenta) _x000D_ Teratoma (Immature and Mature; Monodermal) _x000D_ Gonadoblastoma _x000D_ Adenomatoid Tumor _x000D_ Tumors of Uncertain Origin and Miscellaneous Tumors _x000D_ Ovarian Small Cell Carcinoma, Hypercalcemia Type _x000D_ Small Cell Carcinoma, Pulmonary Type _x000D_ Tumor of Probable Wolffian Origin CHAPTER 8_x000D_ Central Nervous System Neoplasms _x000D_ Meningioma _x000D_ Astrocytoma _x000D_ Oligodendroglioma _x000D_ Ependymoma (and Subependymoma) _x000D_ Choroid Plexus Neoplasms _x000D_ Neuronal and Mixed Neuronal Glial Neoplasms, Including Embryonal Forms _x000D_ Gangliocytoma (Central Ganglioneuroma) _x000D_ Ganglioneuroma (Peripheral) _x000D_ Ganglioglioma _x000D_ Central Neurocytoma _x000D_ Neuroblastoma _x000D_ Ganglioneuroblastoma _x000D_ Ependymoblastoma _x000D_ Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor _x000D_ Medulloblastoma _x000D_ Germinoma (and Embryonal Carcinoma, Choriocarcinoma, and Teratoma) _x000D_ Pineocytoma and Pineoblastoma _x000D_ Hemangioma _x000D_ Hemangioblastoma _x000D_ Pituitary Adenoma CHAPT_x000D_
