Atlas of Peculiar and Common Testicular and Paratesticular Tumors
This book, conceived as an atlas with emphasis in diagnostic images, presents some tumors displaying expected clinical, histological or biological behavior but in most of them that differs from that usual morphology or clinical behaviour. About 132 tumors

Thus, it is not surprising that the classification of testicular tumors is periodically reviewed: different categories are revised, new ones added and reduced to variant of tumors that have classically been considered as different entities. If in the past the most outstanding characteristic of our specialty, pathology, was to show the biological behavior of both tumoral and non-tumoral entities through morphology, in the last decades it has suddenly been enriched with the knowledge coming from different fields, such as those that genetics and molecular biology have provided. Day after day, different diagnoses are enriched by the confluence of macroscopy, microsc
