Beschreibung
Most obstetricians and pediatricians would agree that the examination of the pla centa often helps to explain an abnormal neonatal outcome. As early as in 1892, Bal lantyne wrote that A diseased faetus without its placenta is an imperfect specimen, and a description of a foetal malady, unless accompanied by a notice of the placental condition, is incomplete. Deductions drawn from such a case cannot be considered as conclusive, for in the missing placenta or cord may have existed the cause of the disease and death. During intrauterine life the foetus, the membranes, the cord and the placenta form an organic whole, and disease of any part must react upon and affect the others. Similar thoughts were succinctly detailed in Price's discussion of his concept of the "prenatal biases" as they affected twins. His contribution also admonishes us that placental study is a sine qua non for a more perfect understanding of fetal develop ment (1950). Despite all this understanding of the past and appreciation for placen tal disease, great resistance still exists to performing the task of placental examination routinely. For many pathologists, therefore, the placenta has remained a mysterious organ.
Pathology of the Human Placenta, Fifth Edition is fully revised and includes a more detailed index; updated tables and over 800 illustrations (173 in color). This reference will continue to serve as the authoritative standard on human placental pathology. It represents a lifetime of study by the authors, Kurt Benirschke, MD, Peter Kaufmann, MD and Rebecca Baergen, MD.
From reviews of the previous editions:
Pathology of the Human Placenta is clearly the doyen among books on placental pathology.--American Journal of Surgical Pathology
Bernirschke, who is widely acknowledged as the leading authority in the field of human placental pathology, has produced the most complete and up-to-date description of placental lesions available today.-- Modern Pathology
This book remains the premier resource and reference book for pathology of the placenta and is a welcome addition to the bookshelves of students of pathology, genetics, obstetrics/gynecology, and reproductive biology.--International Journal of Gynecologic Pathology

Clinical research data are... invariably pertinent. References are exhaustive... There is little to criticize in this magnum opus..." (American Journal of Surgical Pathology, on the Third Edition)
"All things considered, Pathology of the Human Placenta is clearly the doyen among books on placental pathology."

From the reviews of the fifth edition:
"This is the fifth edition of the leading textbook of placental pathology … . Aimed at pathologists and neonatologists, this book will be used by scientifically minded gynecologists and neonatologists and all other scientists interested in prenatal growth and development of the human fetus and fetal membranes. … a ‘must have’ for all lawyers involved in malpractice cases relating to the prenatal and early postnatal period of life. … has no competition and remains the most preeminent and most comprehensive book in this field."
