Pref ace
This book provides a comprehensive review of nongynecological cytology including cytomor-
phology, pitfalls, and ancillary testing. The material is presented in a high-yield review and
board-type questions with detailed discussions. It is an excellent review and self-assessment
tool for practicing pathologists, cytologists, as well as cytology trainees (e.g. pathology resi-
dents, cytopathology fellows, and cytotechnology students). The book includes 13 chapters
covering nongynecological cytology including one chapter dedicated to ancillary testing as
related to diagnostic cytology. Most chapters contain introductory high-yield reviews on the
subject in a series of tables with key points emphasizing useful criteria and concepts needed to
make diagnoses in common and uncommon cases.
The book contains a wealth of full high-quality color photomicrographs with over 886
images, 54 tables, and over 963 MCQs that focus on practical diagnostic knowledge that will
be useful to cytology trainees seeking basic information and also those with more experience
who would like to fi ne-tune their skills.
The book is written by nine academic cytopathologists who are involved in practicing cytol-
ogy and teaching cytopathology to residents, fellows, cytotechnologists, and cytotechnology
students.
