Description
Closely mirroring the daily sign-out process, Atlas of Cytopathology: A Pattern-Based Approach, 2nd Edition, by Drs. Christopher J. VandenBussche, M. Lisa Zhang, and Derek B. Allison, is a highly illustrated, efficient guide to accurate diagnosis.

This practical, up-to-date reference uses a proven, pattern-based approach to clearly explain how to interpret challenging cases by highlighting red flags in the clinical chart and locating hidden clues in the slides. Useful as a daily “scope-side guide,” it features numerous clinical and educational features that help you find pertinent information, reach a correct diagnosis, and assemble a thorough and streamlined pathology report.
  • More than 1,500 high-quality, full-color images depict the different preparations, artifacts, and limitations seen during a cytopathology sign-out. Each image is captioned with key diagnostic considerations and includes callouts showing subtle features and diagnostic clues.
  • New content includes newly developed and modified reporting systems for the pancreas, thyroid, serous fluid, and urine specimens, the addition of a section covering cerebrospinal fluid specimens, and updated information on ancillary testing throughout.
  • Practical tools throughout the text include:
    • Discussions of how and when to incorporate ancillary tests such as flow cytometry, molecular studies, and immunohistochemistry.
    • Checklists for key elements of the diagnostic approach and sample notes for inclusion in pathology reports
    • Brief reviews of normal cytomorphology that provide contrast to succeeding patterns
    • “Pearls and Pitfalls” and “Near Misses” sections with lessons from real life sign-out experience
    • “Frequently Asked Questions” sections that discuss common diagnostic dilemmas
    • “Sample Note” sections that offer a template of how to sign out cases from the simple to the complex
    • Comprehensive quizzes that provide experience with high-yield, board-style teaching topics
