Description

Successfully diagnose the full spectrum of thyroid neoplasia with Thyroid Cytopathology: A Text and Atlas! In this
trusted pathology reference, a host of experts provide you with the most comprehensive, authoritative coverage on the
evaluation of thyroid fine-needle biopsy specimens available in one source. They discuss everything from basic
cytopathology concepts, fine-needle aspiration biopsy techniques, and cytopreparation through the interpretation of the
complete range of cytology findings, ancillary diagnostic techniques, and the application of pathology reports to
management decisions. With Thyroid Cytopathology: A Text and Atlas, you can confidently identify even the most
challenging specimens in a timely manner in order to optimize clinical response.
