"This book is written primarily for pathologists and their trainees, but I assume that it will be read and/ or consulted by urologists, andrologists, endocrinologists, and other physicians interested in developmental disorders of the gonads and infertility. ... Well written, well organized and judiciously illustrated, it contains all that you wanted to know about the non- neoplastic testis and its adnexa but were afraid to ask or did not know where to find the answer."
