Cytopathology of the Head and Neck (Ascp Theory and Practice of Cytopathology, 7)

Illustrates most of the lesions pathologists and otolaryngologists encounter when working in association with a head and neck service. Includes both common and rare lesions to indicate the wide range of tumors present and supply specific diagnostic criteria. Arranged predominantly along anatomical lines to facilitate forming sets of site-specific differential diagnoses. Lists key diagnostic features for each entry, discusses problems in diagnosis and differential features, and establishes the histologic basis for the cytological findings with brief histopathologic descriptions and illustrations. The color illustrations are very high quality. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
