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 reportsBrief 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 complexComprehensive quizzes that provide experience with high-yield, board-style teaching topics
