Spieler, Rössle Nongynecologic Cytopathology

• Abundantly illustrated with high quality digital photographs
• Structured presentation facilitates navigation and quick retrieval of information
• Essential information and diagnostic criteria and pitfalls
• Practical guidelines for pathologists, cytopathologists and cytotechnologists

The aim of this guide is to provide the pathologist a concise and practical approach to the everyday diagnostic problems which are likely to encounter. Designed as a manual and guide to the diagnostic cytopathologist and cytotechnologist, it encompasses exfoliative and aspiration cytology of all major body sites. The algorithms at the beginning of each chapter help to classify quickly the basic cell pattern discerned in the microscope and to get an overview of the main differential diagnostic considerations. The accessory text files offer a wealth of general remarks and more information on diagnostics, differential diagnostic procedures and auxiliary methods.

An array of high quality colour photomicrographs give a visual impression of the most important lesions and especially highlight the differential diagnostic difficulties.
