Opis

The objective of this book is to share authors' combined 30 years' experience in the fine-needle aspiration biopsy diagnosis of organs beneath the diaphragm with general pathologists. Starting from the basics, this book progresses to in-depth cytomorphologic analysis with histologic and immunohistochemical confirmation of specific entities. Cytohistological correlation is emphasized by using composite images from either resected tumor or the cell block whenever possible. In addition, ultrastructural basis of cytological features is emphasized. Both cytology and electron microscopy classify tumors by meticulously analyzing the cytoplasmic features and cell junctions of scanty sample. Every histopathology entity should have a counterpart in cytopathology, since both derive from the same entity undergoing the same pathological process. The difference is in the artifacts; thus an attempt was made to explain the artifacts of aspiration cytology so that histopathologists may understand the cytologic approach and learn to interpret aspiration cytology with confidence.
