Each volume in this richly illustrated series Cytohistology of Small Tissue Samples, sponsored by the Papanicolaou Society of
Cytopathology provides an organ-based approach to the cytological and histological diagnosis of small tissue samples including
fine-needle aspiration biopsy, cell block samples and core, pinch and forceps biopsies. Benign, pre-malignant and malignant
entities are presented in a well-organized and standardized format supported with high-resolution color photomicrographs,
tables, tabulated specific morphologic criteria and appropriate ancillary testing algorithms. Example vignettes allow the reader to
assimilate the diagnostic principles in a case-based format. This unique series strengthens the bridge between surgical pathology and
cytopathology, providing the pathologist with the ability to diagnose small tissue samples with confidence.
