Translating cellular morphology to a definite diagnosis that guides
treatment decisions is at the very heart of cytopathology. The
diagnostic precision of each individual cytopathologist grows with
every new specimen and is enhanced by the continuous correlation
with histology and clinical findings. The enormous spectrum of
changes that we see under the microscope requires good guidance in
order not to get lost in what might appear as visual and biological
chaos. Although every case is unique, classification and grouping of
recurring observations help us to find our way to the right diagnosis.
In this regard, illustrated textbooks continue to play an important role
as a solid reference and good guide through the professional life of
every cytopathologist. Despite the rapid progress in ancillary methods
and molecular testing that we are experiencing in cytopathology,
superb morphological diagnosis remains the cornerstone for all further
downstream analyses and clinical decisions. It is my true pleasure to
write a foreword to this outstanding work, which is destined to serve
as a trusty guide in a large and important field of non-gynecological
cytopathology. Atlas of Exfoliative Cytopathology With
Histopathologic Correlations covers the wide spectrum of cytological
findings in a well-organized format. The volume is divided into six
chapters. A treasure of more than 500 high-resolution images
illustrates the cytomorphologic characteristics and the differential
diagnostic challenges associated with exfoliative cytology across
different organ systems. The exquisite figures catch the essentials of a
