Represents the essentials of diagnostic cytopathology comprehensively covering all the morphologic variations that can potentially signal disease.

Provides comprehensive coverage of lung and mediastinal cytopathology, including fine needle aspiration, exfoliative cytology, and core needle biopsies. The full spectrum of tumor, hyperplasia, infectious and inflammatory disorders is covered, with over 500 printed photomicrographs and a CD-ROM offering all images in a downloadable format. An important resource for anatomic pathologists.

Describes the cytologic, small core biopsy, immunohistochemical and molecular diagnostic features of musculoskeletal lesions, with numerous images and clinical vignettes.

The neuroendocrine system is fascinating. It is an intriguing, complex system. For centuries, it has sustained the interest of scientists, who have provided the community with a wealth of information on neuroendocrine tumors types—history, genetics, clinical presentation, surgical pathology, differential diagnoses...on everything except cytopathology...until now. This one-of-a-kind color atlas fills a long-standing void in neuroendocrine resources. This atlas provides clear, descriptive information on the cytopathology of neuroendocrine tumor types and differential diagnoses in one cutting-edge, comprehensive resource. This unique atlas is dedicated exclusively to providing expert, illustrated coverage of the cytopathology of neuroendocrine tumors.

Cytopathology provides a wide-ranging overview of the microscopic study of normal and abnormal cells, showing how current visualization methods are used to study cell structure, and how early detection of abnormal cell pathology can lead to timely clinical interventions.

The primary thrust of this atlas is a comparison between different diagnostic entities with cytologic findings summarized in tabulated forms. The book contains over 3,200 full color photographs that illustrate the criteria for the cytology described. The Color Atlas of Differential Diagnosis in Exfoliative and Aspiration Cytopathology is an excellent reference for everyday use when difficult and challenging cases face both cytotechnologists and pathologists. A tabulated form of information saves valuable time while reporting cytopathology.

This book reviews the current applications of molecular tools in cytopathology and provides a concise handbook for those who provide care in this era of personalized medicine. Specifically, the text provides a comprehensive and concise review of the emerging molecular tests available clinically in different subspecialities of diagnostic pathology. It reviews the current data of molecular testing already applied in cytopathology, discusses some of the biomarkers with potential utility in cytopathology in the near future and reviews the technical challenges in applying and validating molecular tools in liquid-based cytologic materials. Molecular Cytopathology will serve as a valuable resource for cytopathologists, cytotechnologists, pathology trainees, and clinicians with an interest in molecular applications in cytopathology.

This expert volume in the Diagnostic Pathology series is an excellent point-of-care resource for practitioners and trainees at all levels of experience and training. Covering all aspects of cytology, including gynecologic, nongynecologic exfoliative, fine-needle aspiration, and imaging, it incorporates the most recent scientific and technical knowledge in the field to provide a comprehensive overview of all key issues relevant to today's practice. Richly illustrated and easy to use, the third edition of Diagnostic Pathology: Cytopathology is a visually stunning, one-stop resource for every practicing pathologist, resident, student, or fellow as an ideal day-to-day reference or as a reliable training resource. - Covers all areas of cytopathology, including clinical, radiologic, and immunohistochemical as well as cytopathologic features and molecular correlates where applicable - Contains new chapters on ancillary molecular tests specific to thyroid, prognostic/therapy-related immunomarkers in cell blocks, and small biopsies - Provides new immunohistochemical and molecular coverage, including new immunostains and genomic targets - Incorporates new reporting terminology (such as serous fluid and effusions) and updates to existing reporting terminologies - Reflects the expanded use of fine-needle aspiration for small biopsies (FNA-B) with many more images added and updated throughout - Keeps you up-to-date with current and emerging reporting systems on pancreaticobiliary, salivary, breast, and soft tissue cytology - Features more than 3,000 print and online images, including carefully annotated histology and gross pathology photos, full-color illustrations, clinical photographs, and radiologic images to help practicing and in-training pathologists reach a confident diagnosis - Includes new videos on such topics as the cytoprepratory process, cell transfer cell block and smears, collodion bag cell block, and more - Employs consistently templated chapters, bulleted content, key facts, a variety of tables, annotated images, pertinent references, and an extensive index for quick, expert cytopathology reference at the point of care

The previous edition of The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology provided important updates and advances in the practice of thyroid cytopathology. It was inspired by new developments in the field of thyroid cytopathology since the publication of the first edition in 2010. These included revised clinical guidelines for the management of patients with thyroid nodules, the introduction of molecular testing as an adjunct to cytopathologic examination, and the reclassification of the non-invasive follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma as non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP). This new third edition provides updates to the current reporting terminology and diagnostic criteria, including new information on ancillary molecular testing, as well as imaging findings and clinical management. This book provides a more unified approach to diagnosing and reporting thyroid FNA interpretations. It simplifies the reporting structure by settling on just one name for each of the six categories and aligning terminology with the most recent classification of thyroid tumors by the World Health Organization. Written by experts in the field, The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology, Third Edition aims to inspire advances in thyroid cytopathologic diagnosis and the betterment of patients with thyroid nodular disease. It serves as a reference guide not just for pathologists, but also endocrinologists, surgeons, and radiologists.
