Canine and Feline Cytopathology: A Color Atlas and Interpretation
Guide, 4th Edition provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic
cytopathology for companion animals, covering all body systems and
fluids. Rapidly resolve diagnostic challenges with this guide to
specimen collection and evaluation, featuring more than 2,400
photomicrographs that show cytology of normal structures to
contrast and support identification of cytopathology of
inflammatory, hyperplastic, and neoplastic lesions. Enhancements to
this edition include hundreds of new images with crisper quality
and truer colors; new chapters on the pancreas and ear; updated,
contemporaneously referenced information for all chapters; expanded
listing for neoplastic and infectious disease testing, quality
assurance, and reporting; and access to a fully searchable enhanced
eBook with new print purchase. Written by seasoned veterinary
cytopathologists and award-winning educators Rose Raskin, Denny
Meyer, and Katie Boes, with contributions from 20 international
experts, this reference offers clear, practical guidelines to
sampling procedures, slide preparation, and interpretation leading
to diagnoses and/or classification of the cytopathologic findings.
Anticipate the expected and expect the unexpected with this atlas,
which vividly illustrates the expected cytologic elements
associated with the organ system and provides abundant examples of
unexpected cytopathologic findings. Comprehensive coverage of all
body systems and body fluids emphasizes the application of aspirate
biopsy cytopathology for greatest diagnostic impact.
Exceptional-quality, full-color photomicrographs include detailed
figure legends. Helpful hints for improving specimen quality are
provided in discussions of common errors and problems, resulting in
more diagnostically effective, cost-effective use of cytopathology.
Discussions of clinical findings, differential diagnostic
considerations, and the rationale are included for the final
cytopathological diagnosis. Additional photomicrographs in organ
system chapters demonstrate the histological or histopathologic
corollary of cytopathologic findings. Easy-to-use, well-organized
format includes many tables, algorithms, boxes, and Key Point
callouts for at-a-glance reference. Clear, concise descriptions
include sampling techniques, slide preparation and examination, and
guidelines for interpretation, leading to accurate in-house and
commercial laboratory diagnosis. Extensively revised organ
system-based chapters include focused contemporary references. NEW!
700 crisp, all-new images more closely match the colors
representative of the actual microscopic view. NEW! Expanded
content combines coverage of the exocrine and endocrine pancreas
and adds a new emphasis on the ear, specifically otic sample
collection and cytopathology. NEW! All-new appendices provide quick
reference to infectious agents, immunocytochemistry, reporting,
molecular and immunologic testing, quality assurance, and more.
NEW! Enhanced eBook is included with each new print purchase,
providing access to a fully searchable text online - available on a
