ATLAS OF THYROID CYTOPATHOLOGY ON LIQUID-BASED PREPARATIONS

DESCRIPTION

This illustratedvolume serves as a handy guide todiagnostic fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of thyroidon liquid-based preparations (LBP).  It is intended tobe a ready resource to accurately diagnosethyroid lesions on LBP usingkey cytomorphologic features. Key cytologicdifferential diagnosis, gross,and histopathological correlations accompany the cytological findings.

The Atlas ofThyroid Cytopathology on Liquid-BasedPreparations is lavishly illustrated with color images of various thyroiddiseases that should familiarize pathologists with the differences between conventional smears and LBP,and between the two commonlyused LBPs. Authored by leaders in the field, thisatlas provides clear, concise, and practicalguidance pertaining to cytomorphology and the implicationsof thyroid FNA diagnoses forpatient care in this era of precisionmedicine.
