This user-friendly book is a practical guide to the diagnosis of testicular tumors and rare tumors of the penis. It describes and illustrates pathology findings for each tumor type and provides information on clinical features, differential diagnosis, tumor staging, and prognostic factors. Since an effective dialogue between urologists and pathologists is essential for optimal patient care, due attention is paid to such aspects as the role of frozen section in the management of small testicular nodules and the accurate reporting of testicular and penile neoplasms to ensure that all knowledge required for diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making is available. The key information is presented in straightforward tables for ease of reference. This book, which includes more than 250 full-color photos, is not only a valuable resource for surgical pathologists and pathology residents but also an important reference tool for all clinicians who care for patients with genitourinary tract tumors.

“This book describes the clinical, epidemiological, and histological features of tumors arising in the testis and penis. … The intended audience is surgical pathologists, residents, and fellows. Practicing or training urologists or subspecialty oncologists also could find this book of use. … this is a valuable contribution to the field of urological pathology and will be of value in the library of surgical pathologists or pathology departments.” (Kyle D. Perry, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2016)
