Erkrankungen des Endometriums

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Pathologie

Part of the book series: Pathologie ((PATHOL))

Zusammenfassung

Die Erkrankungen des Endometriums werden umfassend abgehandelt, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf der Diagnostik des Endometriumkarzinoms. Dieses wird einschließlich seiner molekularen Pathogenese, der Varianten, Vorstufen und Differentialdiagnosen erörtert. Weitere wesentliche Themen sind die Neoplasien des Endometriumstromas, funktionelle Störungen sowie der Einfluss von Hormonen einschließlich iatrogener Veränderungen und Entzündungen. Die beschriebenen Erkrankungen sind mittels zahlreicher histologischer Bilder ausführlich dokumentiert. Neben Pathologen sind auch onkologisch tätige Gynäkologen und internistische Onkologen als Zielgruppe vorgesehen.
