The book's main objective was to provide most of what the pathologist needs to know about diverse ovarian diseases in a clear and well-organized manner. Unlike other books that are devoted either to ovarian tumors or other ovarian diseases, this book covers both of these subjects.The book is composed of ten sections. The first section deals with basic information on ovarian pathology such as embryology, normal anatomy and histology of the ovary, in addition to detailed description of pathological handling of ovarian specimens. This sets the stage for the sections that follow, which cover all aspects of ovarian pathology and include developmental, inflammatory lesions and neoplasms. Several sections are devoted to an in-depth discussion of various neoplasms. The authors have attempted in these chapters to give the reader detailed exposure to different tumors, with emphasis on clinicopathological features, criteria for diagnosis, differential diagnoses, and when applicable, prognostic and genetic biomarkers specific to those tumors. These chapters are supplemented by numerous images, illustrations and tables that complement the text.Overall, the book is clear, concise and logical in its layout, with many up-to-date references. I found the book very useful and believe it will be of tremendous value to residents and pathologists who are interested in gynecological pathology, as well as gynecologists who have to deal with ovarian diseases on a daily basis.
