This generously illustrated, user-friendly atlas for both cytopathologists and surgical pathologists is a practical guide to the diagnostically challenging area of cervical cytopathology. Not only does the Atlas feature concise, expert descriptions of the full range of cytopathologies in the gynecological tract, it also presents and contrasts problematic pathologies that can potentially lead to erroneous interpretation. Over 500 carefully chosen, high-resolution color images illustrate crucial aspects of gynecologic tract disease, and selected images of the histopathologic and gross characteristics of the lesions enable morphologic correlation. Additionally, the book features a special chapter authored by a gynecological expert on the colposcopic characteristics of cervical lesions, along with a brief review of the updated ASCCP management guidelines emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach.
The text of this second edition has been completely revised, planned and written with two goals in mind: to help those learning cytopathology for the first time, including pathology residents, fellows, and cytotechnology students, and to provide a resource for those who have experience in cytopathology but are faced with a difficult diagnostic dilemma. It reflects the fact that diagnostic criteria have become more refined, some types of aspiration are now more common, and terminology has changed.
Atlas of Exfoliative Cytopathology with Histopathologic Correlations is a comprehensive reference for interpreting body cavity fluid, respiratory, and gastrointestinal exfoliative cytopathology specimens. Generously illustrated and user-friendly, this Atlas guides the reader through common and unusual non-gynecologic and non-urinary exfoliative specimens to detect neoplastic and non-neoplastic disease. Over 500 high-resolution color images demonstrate the important cytomorphological features and pitfalls encountered in exfoliative specimens. The book provides detailed descriptions for entities encompassing variations of benign serous lesions, peritoneal, pericardial and pleural fluids, cerebrospinal fluid, bronchial brushings and washings, normal and induced sputum, gastric exfoliative specimens, and anal Pap tests. Additionally, selected images demonstrating histopathologic characteristics of the lesions for morphologic correlation will appeal to cytopathologists and surgical pathologists alike. Written by experts from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Atlas of Exfoliative Cytopathology with Histopathologic Correlations is an invaluable resource for any pathologist looking to improve diagnostic skills and patient outcomes using various exfoliative techniques. Key Features: Contains over 500 outstanding color illustrations Includes cytologic variations of effusions, brushings, washings, and smears from non-gynecologic and non-urinary sites. Provides clear descriptions of entities and practical diagnostic guidance
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.
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.
Exfoliative and instrumented (catheterized) urines are the most common types of specimens evaluated in a cytology laboratory. The typical clinical presentation is a patient with new onset of urinary symptoms, asymptomatic hematuria, or patient with prior history of urothelial carcinoma on routine surveillance. A careful examination of exfoliated cells from the urinary tract can lead to a fast, relatively simple, economical and accurate cytopathologic diagnosis, which is crucial for timely patient management. However, there are a number of common non-neoplastic reactive conditions that can morp.
The aim of this atlas is to guide pathologists and radiologists in the accurate triage and diagnosis of deep seated mass lesions biopsied under ultrasound, CT Scan or fluoroscopic guidance. Fine needle aspiration cytology has become the foremost diagnostic modality in recent years for the diagnosis of mass lesions, including primary and recurrent neoplasms and masses of non-neoplastic and infectious etiology. An essential requirement in the accurate diagnosis of these masses is the correlation of cytomorphology with the radiological findings and adequate triage of acquired material during the biopsy procedure. The cytologic appearance (fine needle aspiration smears, touch preparations, cell blocks and core biopsy), gross surgical resected specimen (where available on follow-up) and imaging findings will be illustrated to provide a complete pathologic-radiologic correlation of the entities discussed. Collection methods and correlation with ancillary studies such as flow cytometry, microbiologic cultures, cytogenetics and immunohistochemistry will be described. The importance of specimen type and cytologic and radiologic techniques will be emphasized.
