USDEach volume in this richly illustrated series, published in association with the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology, provides an organ-based approach to the cytological and histological diagnosis of small tissue samples. Benign, pre-malignant and malignant entities are presented in a well-organized and standardized format with high-resolution color photomicrographs, tables, tabulated specific morphologic criteria and appropriate ancillary testing algorithms. Vignettes allow the reader to assimilate the diagnostic principles in a case-based format. This volume combines a practical approach to performing and interpreting fine-needle biopsy cytology of lymph nodes and spleen, with reports of biopsies and the selection of appropriate ancillary testing required for these challenging small specimens. Each chapter contains a detailed summary of differential diagnostic features, supported by numerous high-quality images and case studies. With over 500 printed photomicrographs and a CD-ROM offering all images in a downloadable format, this is an important resource for practicing pathologists and residents in pathology.
- Combines fine needle biopsy cytology with ancillary testing and core biopsy pathology
- Practical, step by step guide to the diagnosis of lymph node and splenic cytology
- Over 500 illustrations available in a downloadable format on CD-ROM accompanying the print book
Reviews & endorsements
"Written by two experienced cytopathologists, its 273 pages are packed full of information and are broken down into diagnostic sections, with an engaging aesthetic suited to the visual learner including high-quality, colour images and comprehensive tables … this is a very detailed book with an abundance of useful information."
Sidonie Hartridge-Lambert and Sabine Pomplun, Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists
