In endocrine pathology, surgical pathologists often concentrate on neoplasms at the expense of nonneoplastic disease processes. This is unfortunate as nonneoplastic endocrine disorders are many times more common in the population. As in all fields of ......
Since the 4th Series of this Fascicle was published, there have been considerable advances in our understanding of tumors within the serosal membranes, in particular the classification of mesothelial tumors and their genetics. This 5th Series Fascicle aligns with the terminology recommended by the WHO in its most recent edition for pleural and ......
