Description
Intended for pathologists and endocrinologists, this book covers the diagnosis, surgical and medical treatment of pituitary adenomas. It includes special techniques used to study pituitary adenomas, including electron microscopy, cell culture and molecular biology. The text combines traditional morphologic approaches with more recent information derived from studies with the tools of the new biology. It combines extensive coverage of diagnosis with various aspects of the pituitary adenomas. The integrated approach provides a foundation for making specific diagnoses of pituitary disorders and also indicates the future directions of pituitary pathology. The emphasis is on diagnostic criteria for pituitary tumours. Chapters on medical and surgical management of pituitary adenomas provide a balanced perspective on the approach to the patient with pituitary tumours.… (more)
