Description
A major revision of the leading textbook of FNA cytology. This
edition has double the number of illustrations and has expanded
coverage of ancillary diagnostic techniques such as molecular
diagnostics, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry. There is increased
coverage of rare entities in the diagnosis of specific organs,
tissues and tumors. All of the histologic images are now in full
color and the MGG stains are paired with Pap stains throughout to
provide the cytopathologist and pathologist with a complete guide to
cytopathologic analysis. Both text and illustrations provide a
systematic and logical approach to the acquisition , interpretation
and diagnosis of Fine Needle Aspirate biopsy specimens. FNA Cytology
will assist in establishing diagnostic criteria and results in the
examination of benign and malignant condition in all body systems
where the technique is currently applied.
With 9 additional international contributors
Key Features
*The two different methods of staining and fixation are combined for
each entity, (air dried MGG stains are paired with wet fixed Pap
smears). For the first time this book provides a totally
comprehensive and universally recognizable guide to the
cytopathologic appearances of biopsy samples.
*Cytopathologic and histologic appearances of individual entities
correlated throughout. Provides a complete visual diagnostic guide
for interpretation of biopsy specimens by showing both their cellular
and morphologic appearance.
*Over 1,300 full color images. Provides a comprehensive atlas of
entities that the user can compare to the aspiration and tissue
samples seen under the microscope.
*Diagnostic criteria listed for each entity. Provides the user with a
ready check list to facilitate the investigative process
*Problems and diagnostic pitfalls identified for each entity.
Provides the user with the necessary tools to make a confident and
accurate list of differential diagnoses.
*Each chapter contains material on appropriate ancillary techniques.
*Provides the user with a complete range of diagnostic tools for use
in daily practice
