Atlas Of Diagnostic Cytology

Diagnostic cytology requires the most accurate cell identification possible, and this is best achieved with the help of numerous images that show the most characteristic and distinguishing features of cytological patterns. This atlas of cytology is therefore a must-have on any vet’s bookshelf and will help clinicians in the diagnosis of many pathologies.

The New Edition of the field's standard sourcebook delivers thoroughly revised and up-to-date coverage of aspiration and exfoliative cytology and its impact on the practice of anatomic pathology today. Over 1,700 all-new, full-color illustrations capture the appearance of a complete range of cytopathology specimens, their histologic correlations, and the results of relevant ancillary studies. Each chapter discusses the challenges of that specimen site; describes the diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis; and explains how the diagnosis is reached.

An advanced atlas/text concentrating on common diagnostic problems and frequent pitfalls found in diagnostic cytology. Provides an advanced level of diagnostic information covering a broad range of cytologic material. Also includes discussion and pictures comparing and contrasting different diagnoses and unusual cases and how to avoid false positive and negative diagnoses. Stresses criteria and concepts necessary to make differential diagnosis. Topics include pediatric cytopathology, preparatory techniques and artifacts, and newer specialized procedures such as liquid pap smear collection and molecular techniques. Spanish version also available, ISBN: 84-8174-430-1

This atlas examines the benefits and limitations of immunocytochemistry (ICC) in contemporary cytology. The text addresses offers practical advice on choice of markers, and illustrates the use of ICC in fine needle aspiration and body cavity fluid cytology. This practical handbook will allow for quick reference in the selection and interpretation of markers in specific differential diagnostic in the daily practice of diagnostic cytology. Includes 299 color illustrations.

The Second Edition of this colour atlas provides a comprehensive guide to the variety of gynaecological and non-gynaecological cytology appearances as seen in daily clinical practice. The scope of morphology ranges from basic cell patterns to rarer conditions. The illustrations are accompanied by clear and authoritative text from one of the leading centres of diagnostic cytopathology and histopathology. The illustrations correspond with what the trainee sees down the microscope, making diagnosis easier. The book has been written with clinical relevance very much in mind.

This book covers all of the diagnostic areas where FNAC is used today. This includes palpable lesions and lesions sampled using various radiological methods, and correlations with ancillary examinations detailed on an entity-by-entity basis. As well as being a complete atlas of the facts and findings important to FNAC, this atlas is a guide to diagnostic methods that optimize health care. The interaction of the cytologist or cytopathologist with other specialists (radiologists, oncologists and surgeons) involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with suspicious mass lesions is emphasized and illustrated throughout. With contributions from experts in the field internationally and abundant colour images Atlas of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to FNAC for pathologists, cytopathologists, radiologists, oncologists, surgeons and others involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with suspicious mass lesions.

Atlas of Cytopathology: A Pattern Based Approach is the latest installment in a unique new series designed to present diagnostic processes in a way similar to how clinicians actually review specimens. The book is image-rich, with scores of illustrations and tables, and filled with checklists, FAQs, and other tools to support fast, easy comprehension of material. Highlighted are common rather than obscure diseases and conditions, and “normal” cytology is presented first to give you a benchmark for subsequent discussions.
