Concise yet comprehensive, this highly useful bench manual covers all organ systems and situations in which cytology is used, including gynecologic, non-gynecologic, and FNA samples, with an in-depth differential diagnosis discussion for all major entities. Now fully revised from cover to cover, it continues to focus on practical issues in diagnosis and the use of cytology in clinical care.
- Uses easy-to-read, bulleted text to provide a quick review of key differential diagnoses, indications and methods, cytomorphologic features, clinical pearls, and tissue acquisition protocols for specific entities.
- Incorporates key updates throughout, including new diagnostic biomarkers and their utility in differential diagnosis; the latest Bethesda System classifications and terminology; updated material on billing and coding; new techniques, new adjunct tests, and more.
- Features hundreds of full-color illustrations that provide a real-life perspective of a full range of cytologic findings, as well as numerous summary tables and flow charts for quick reference.
- Includes coverage of patient management in discussions of pertinent clinical features and emphasizes clinical correlation throughout.
- Examines the role of immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and molecular biology in resolving difficulties in interpretation and diagnosis.
- Provides an in-depth analysis of common diagnostic pitfalls to assist with daily sign-out and reporting.
- Includes a video on how to perform fine needle aspiration biopsy, from the patient interview and precautions to demonstration of techniques.
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.
