Overview

Covering all diagnostic aspects of placental pathology encountered by the perinatologist, obstetrician, or pathologist, this user-friendly text includes discussions of lesions associated with maternal thrombophilias, updates in disorders with challenging clinicopathologic features, and pathogenesis. Building upon the success of its predecessor, this new edition includes: - an updated discussion of conditions such as preeclampsia and maternal diabetes mellitus - a section on the use of technology, such as molecular genetic probes and other newly developed ancillary studies, to confirm diagnosis in problematic cases - an entirely new set of colour digitized images and diagrams of umbilical cords, membranes, parenchymal and maternal surface abnormalities - an increased number of gross and microscopic photographs. Succinct and accessible, this is an important text for the practicing pathologist, the trainee, and all practitioners who deal with aspects of the delivery of a healthy newborn.
