Cytologic diagnosis by examination of exfoliated cells in serous cavity fluids is one of the most challenging areas in clinical cytopathology. Almost 20% of the effusions examined are directly or indirectly related to the presence of malignant disease, with carcinoma of the lung as the most common underlying culprit. This volume published in the Essentials in Cytopathology book series will fulfill the need for an easy-to-use and authoritative synopsis of site specific topics in cytopathology. These guide books fit into the lab coat pocket, ideal for portability and quick reference. Each volume is heavily illustrated with a full color art program, while the text follows a user-friendly outline format.

Cytologic examination of the cerebrospinal fluid is a technically simple, yet productive, diagnostic procedure. Here is a practical guide to this method, as used in the diagnosis of different pathologies. High-quality slides depict the common cerebrospinal fluid cell types, cell anomalies in inflammatory conditions and neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders, and cases with contaminants. It’s required reading for pathologists, as well as neurologists and neurosurgeons.

Atlas of Exfoliative Cytopathology with Histopathologic Correlations is a comprehensive reference for interpreting body cavity fluid, respiratory, and gastrointestinal exfoliative cytopathology specimens. Generously illustrated and user-friendly, this Atlas guides the reader through common and unusual non-gynecologic and non-urinary exfoliative specimens to detect neoplastic and non-neoplastic disease. Over 500 high-resolution color images demonstrate the important cytomorphological features and pitfalls encountered in exfoliative specimens. The book provides detailed descriptions for entities encompassing variations of benign serous lesions, peritoneal, pericardial and pleural fluids, cerebrospinal fluid, bronchial brushings and washings, normal and induced sputum, gastric exfoliative specimens, and anal Pap tests. Additionally, selected images demonstrating histopathologic characteristics of the lesions for morphologic correlation will appeal to cytopathologists and surgical pathologists alike. Written by experts from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Atlas of Exfoliative Cytopathology with Histopathologic Correlations is an invaluable resource for any pathologist looking to improve diagnostic skills and patient outcomes using various exfoliative techniques. Key Features: Contains over 500 outstanding color illustrations Includes cytologic variations of effusions, brushings, washings, and smears from non-gynecologic and non-urinary sites. Provides clear descriptions of entities and practical diagnostic guidance

This book is the culmination of an international effort to bring consistency and diagnostic efficiency to effusion cytology for the sake of patient care. The authors recognize special challenges in serous fluid cytopathology, such as reporting the presence of Mullerian epithelium in peritoneal fluids. What is an appropriate serous fluid volume to ensure adequacy? How should mesothelial proliferations be reported and is it appropriate to make an interpretation of malignant mesothelioma? How specific should a report be regarding the origin and subtyping of tumors found in serous fluids? What are the appropriate quality monitors for this specimen type? Special chapters on considerations for peritoneal washings, cytopreparatory techniques, mesothelioma and quality management are included to address these issues. The text contains literature reviews that elucidate existing evidence in support of current practices and recommendations. Expert opinions on where evidence was lacking, the most common practices were adopted by consensus, and where there was no commonality, are employed. Written by experts in the field, The International System for Serous Fluid Cytopathology serves as a collaborative effort between the International Academy of Cytology and the American Society for Cytopathology and calls upon participation of the international cytopathology and oncology communities to contribute to the development of a truly international system for reporting serous fluid cytology
