Description

No other book offers such comprehensive, in-depth coverage of paraganglia found on and around the adrenal gland. "Pathology of Adrenal and Extra-Adrenal Paraganglia" provides a detailed analysis of normal anatomy as well as the various disease states, including tumours and tumour-like lesions, that arise in the sympathoadrenal neuroendocrine system and head and neck region. Coverage of developmental anatomy and embryology offers an understanding of how adrenal and extra-adrenal paraganglia form, and what can go wrong. Readers will find today's best information on ultrastructural features, reviews of immunohistochemistry, new evolving aspects of cytogenetics, quantitative evaluations of DNA contents, data on survival and prognosis, and much more in this outstanding new resource.
