Cytology is a unique subspecialty in anatomic pathology, and plays
a critical role in the diagnosis of a variety of benign and
malignant lesions by using minimally invasive procedures, such as
fine needle aspiration, brushing, washing and lavage. Cytology not
only provides an accurate diagnosis of the lesion based on the
cytomorphological evaluation at cellular level, but also provides
material for molecular characterization of a tumor for targeted
therapy. In the era of personalized medicine, cytology has
continued to grow and evolve as an important diagnostic tool. For
example, some types of procedures are routinely used, diagnostic
criteria have become more refined, and certain terminology has been
changed based on current WHO classifications. Therefore, it is
necessary to update our knowledge and terminology in cytology. In
this volume, we have retained the quality and the clarity of the
series, and like the other volumes, this volume aims to be concise
and comprehensive yet clinically relevant to daily practice.
Although this volume is written by multiple authors, all chapters
follow a similar format: brief introduction of the specific
organ/system (including types of specimens and techniques to obtain
samples), description of normal findings, and a practice approach
to diagnose benign and malignant lesions. In each chapter, the key
cytomorphological feature and main differential diagnoses of the
lesion are summarized in a concise table. Images in each chapter
are instructive and clearly represent findings. Where necessary, we
have also illustrated the important ancillary tests, such as flow
cytometry, immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis, which are
crucial for an accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy. The updated
knowledge, including key cytomorphological features, current
terminology and molecular diagnostic tests, is the highlight of
this volume.
