Both an atlas and a practical textbook, Gynecological Cytology is designed to improve and enhance the practitioner's knowledge of all facets of the cellular diagnosis of gynecological disease.Comprehensive coverage, brilliantly illustrated!More than 750 color photographs and diagrams make this book wide-ranging and easy to use. Following an overview of normal morphology the book progresses through multifaceted discussions of both benign and malignant changes, with each organ-specific discussion including results obtained from adjunct diagnostic methods. Other highlights include detailed presentations of differential diagnoses and explanations of the various consequences of specific pathological findings.Ideal for both laboratory and clinic!Bridging the gap between two often-separate spheres, the text also offers a wealth of practical advice: how best to collect, process, and ship specimens; information on analyzing smears and documenting the findings and on quality assurance and efficient work procedures. Essential for pathologists, laboratory assistants, gynecologists, and students, Gynecological Cytology is unparalleled in both its scope and its usefulness as a learning aid and reference.
Der Atlas gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über den diagnostischen Aussagewert der Phasenkontrastmikroskopie für die gynäkologische Sprechstundenzytologie am Frischpräparat. Nach einer Einführung in die Anwendungsbereiche der gynäkologischen Vitalzytologie verhelfen technische Erläuterungen zur präzisen Handhabung der Methode und des Phasenkontrastmikroskops. Der anschlie€ende Textteil vermittelt eine straff gegliederte Zusammenfassung der wesentlichen Erkennungsmerkmale der Einzelzellen und des Gesamtzellbildes unter physiologischer hormoneller Stimulation und deren endogen oder iatrogen ausgelösten Abweichungen, unter bakterieller Besiedelung und im Laufe der Karzinogenese. Es folgen Beschreibungen von Nebenbefunden, sekundären Zellveränderungen und Artefakten. In gleicher Reihenfolge sind im angeschlossenen Bildteil 143 meist gro€formatige Mikroskopaufnahmen typischer Zellen und Zellverbände dargestellt. This atlas provides a comprehensive overview of the diagnostic value of phase-contrast microscopy in the cytologic examination of smears taken in the gynecological practice. The range of applications and methods are fully described. The text summarizes distinguishing factors of single cell and the overall clinical picture. The atlas section contains large-format photomicrographs of cells and cell clusters.

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 neoplasms found in the female genital tract are numerous and growing more complex. Cytology and Surgical Pathology of Gynecologic Neoplasms has been written to provide a practical reference for practicing pathologists and cytopathologists in a quick and concise fashion. The primary focus of this book is on gynecological tumors, specifically common ones and their benign mimics. Emphasis is placed on morphologic recognition, resolving common diagnostic problems seen in routine practices, and discussion of current classification of gynecologic malignancies. Special references to the differential diagnosis and pitfalls of each entity are included. The role of cytology and its correlation with histology is richly illustrated and discussed. Also presented is the practical use of ancillary studies such as molecular diagnostic testing and immunohistochemistry. With a unique emphasis on the correlation between cytology and surgical pathology, Cytology and Surgical Pathology of Gynecologic Neoplasms provides a ready reference for both the practicing pathologist and pathologist in training in finding quick answers to their diagnostic challenges.
Liquid-based cytology preparations are currently the standard of care for gynecological cytology, and are being increasingly used for non-gynecological cytology. Diagnostic Liquid-Based Cytology serves as a handy guide to diagnostic cytopathology on liquid-based preparations. The authors, renowned experts in the field, provide clear, concise, and practical diagnostic guidance. This handbook equips you to achieve accurate diagnosis of most commonly and uncommonly encountered diseases in exfoliative and aspirated tissue samples from various sites. The key cytopathological features of various diseases are described. The book is lavishly illustrated with dozens of color images that depict the full range of common and rare conditions. Diagnostic Liquid-Based Cytology offers highly practical guidance and information needed to solve common diagnostic challenges in liquid-based cytology preparations. Appropriate histopathological correlations and a consideration of the possible differential diagnosis accompany the cytological findings. The book is an excellent resource not only for practicing pathologists as well as for pathologists-in-training, and will be the perfect practical resource for daily reference in the cytopathology laboratory.
This book offers a comprehensive guide to thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. Borderline/precursor tumors, which were introduced in the 4th edition of the WHO classification of thyroid tumors, are also incorporated. In this second edition, prominent international experts discuss the different approaches to thyroid FNA cytology employed in various countries such as Australia, Canada, China, Korea, Portugal, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, the USA, UK, Italy and Japan. The book not only covers key principles of thyroid cytopathology but also addresses technical aspects such as procedural complications, liquid-based cytology, immunocytochemistry, staining procedures, and potential pitfalls. Case-based descriptions and clinical findings, radiologic imaging, cytology, and histopathologic diagnosis – all complemented by a wealth of detailed photographs – will help reader understand and overcome many common dilemmas in daily practice. As such, the book represents an indispensable reference work for all cytopathologists, especially those practicing thyroid cytopathology.
