Synopsis

The subspecialty of Cytopathology is 60 years old and has become established as a solid and reliable discipline in medicine. As - pected, cytopathology literature has expanded in a remarkably short period of time, from a few textbooks prior to the 1980s to a current library of texts and journals devoted exclusively to cytomorphology that is substantial. Essentials in Cytopathology does not presume to replace any of the distinguished textbooks in Cytopathology. Instead, the series will publish generously ill- tratedanduser-friendlyguidesforbothpathologistsandclinicians. Building on the amazing success of The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology, now in its second edition, the - ries will utilize a similar format including minimal text, tabular criteria and superb illustrations based on real-life specimens. - sentials in Cytopathology will, at times, deviate from the classic organization of pathology texts. The logic of decision trees, eli- nation of unlikely choices and narrowing of differential diagnosis via a pragmatic approach based on morphologic criteria will be some of the strategies used to illustrate principles and practice in Cytopathology.

From the reviews:

“This 2009 pulmonary tract guide offers concise descriptions for respiratory topics with accompanying microphotographs. The reader will find beautifully photographed, high-quality colored reference images on nearly every page of ... this book. ... Cytopathologists, cytotechnologists and students of cytopathology will find this book a valuable addition to their non-gynecologic practice desk resources. ... In conclusion, this book should join ... on bookshelves of working labs, academic institutions and cytotechnology schools and take its place besides the TBS gyn little blue book.” (Judith Modery, The ASC Bulletin, July, 2010)
