Diagnostic Ultrastructural Pathology:
A Self-Evaluation and Self-Teaching Manual
Feroze N. Ghadially
Published by: Butterworth-Heinemann, Boston
2nd edition, 1998 - US $35.00 / £19.99
|
This practical book has been out of print for almost a decade. The new edition remains faithful to the principles of the initial work, an excellent resource for teaching and self-leaning diagnostic electron microscopy, but is about 50 percent larger. An appendix has also been added with line drawings that aid in understanding some of the more difficult to understand topics in the book. As Professor J.M. Nesland states in a review in Ultrastructural Pathology, "This book is especially easy to read and can be highly recommended for young residents and people subspecializing in diagnostic EM.". |

Book Review by Ivan Damjanov:
Modern Pathology, March 1998, Vol. 11, page 305
About this tome, Dr. Damjanov says in part: "His book remains essential reading for all those entering the field, but it is also indispensable to all those who use electron micrsocopy for either research or diagnosis. I should add also that for those who use electron microscopy for teaching, it is still one of the best ways to teach students to see through the ordinary light microscope."
The latter truism does not receive enough attention from surgical pathologists.

Designed for daily use at the microscope, this book is a new, practical atlas that will enable pathologists to accurately identify diagnostic cell structures and tumors through the use of electron microscopy. The atlas has been especially designed to demonstrate to the pathologist how electron microscopy can be used as a tool for reporting accurate descriptions and interpretations of tumors. This is accomplished using 300 carefully selected micrographs of diagnostically important tumor cell organelles and detailed but concise descriptive text that clearly describes tumor cell organelles to aid the pathologist in identifying them as distinctive cell structures

DIAGNOSTIC TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF TUMORS with Clinicopathological, Immunohistochemical, and Cytogenetic Correlations
Robert A. Erlandson, PhD
Attending Electron Microscopist, Department of Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Associate Professor of Pathology, Cornell University Medical College
|
This text book is a compendium on the subject that presents pathologists and scientists with concise, up-to-date information about the ultrastructure of human tumors. It is based on the examination of over 6,500 human tumors over many years and a critical review of the literature. It is the current standard for diagnostic electron microscopy in the field of human tumor pathology.

PATHOLOGY OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Claire M. Payne, PhD
Research Professor, Department of Microbiology/Immunology, College of Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona
Authored Chapter 2 (volume 1) entitled "Electron Microscopy in the Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases"
Editors: Connor DH, Chandler FW et al.,
Published by: Appleton & Lange, Stamford, CT., 1997.
This chapter provides an overview of the instances in which EM is most helpful in the specific diagnosis of infectious diseases. An understanding of the ultrastructural and diagnostic features of certain viruses, bacteria, fungi, and
|
protozoa, and their clinical settings, can have a significant impact on patient care. EM is the best catchall technique that does not rely on any a priori suspicions of the possible etiologic agent. In addition to a diagnostic role, transmission EM may be valuable for proper therapy and prognosis and in avoiding additional and unnecessary invasive procedures for clinical workup, especially in neonates.
The following organisms are discussed in detail:
1) Viruses: herpesviruses, adenovirus, papovavirus, poxvirus, viral agents of gastroenteritis, HIV
2) Parasites of the Subkingdom Protozoa: Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidia, Cyclospora, Leishmania, Giardia, Microsporidia
3) Parasites of Uncertain Taxonomy: Pneumocystis carinii
4) Bacterial Infections: Instances in which EM is helpful: Demonstration of Capsules using Ultrastructural Cytochemistry (certain Bacteroides species), Epidemic Outbreaks of Unknown Cause (Legionella pneumophila), following the therapy for Whipple's Disease

COLOR/TEXT ATLAS OF SALIVARY GLAND PATHOLOGY
Irving Dardick, MD
Professor of Pathology and Otolaryngology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario
Distributed by: Williams & Wilkins, 351 West Camden Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201-2436

The scope of this book is limited to the histological diagnosis of salivary gland tumors. The main goals are to detail diagnostic criteria for the various benign and malignant tumors and to provide appropriate and comprehensive illustrations (661 photographs of which 600 are in full color) to assist pathologists in categorizing salivary gland tumors.

Chapter 31: Ewings Sarcoma Family of Tumors: Ewings Sarcoma of Bone and Soft Tissue and the Peripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors
ME Horowitz, MW Malawer, SY Woo, MJ Hicks
This chapter on Ewings Sarcoma family of tumors reviews the epidemiology, molecular features, biology, histopathology, immunocytochemistry, ultrastructure, treatment and prognosis. This tumor family ranges from the classic typical Ewings Sarcoma to the peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors. It also discusses a relatively new entity, Biphenotypic Sarcoma, which shares features of Ewings sarcoma and rhabdomyoblastoma while expressing molecular markers characteristic for Ewings sarcoma family of tumors.

Dr. Palezzo says in part:
"This book presents the current applications of electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of this group of tumors."
A wide variety of tumors are discussed in detail throughout the book, including sarcomatoid carcinomas, small round cell tumors and those with spindle cell morphology. Each tumor's histologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features are presented in detail, along with examples illustrated with black-and-white photographs.
