Cytology : Diagnostic principles and clinical correlates, (2^nd Ed.)

This new edition provides the practicing and trainee pathologist with a practical guide to the diagnostic interpretation of cytological specimens. The book is concise yet covers all of the organ systems in which the procedure is used , the number of pages devoted to each body site is proportional to the clinical relevance of cytology for that site. Each chapter includes a discussion of indications and methods-particularly useful for pathologists performing their own FNA biopsies-normal anatomy, histology and cytology are covered before focusing on non-neoplastic conditions as well as benign and malignant neoplasms. Each chapter contains a section on differential diagnosis and cytologic findings are accompanied with ancillary diagnostic techniques such as immunohistochemistry and molecular biology where appropriate. This volume is lavishly illustrated with colour images in order to ensure that it will serve as a practical daily resource in the laboratory.
