Exfoliative and instrumented (catheterized) urines are the most common types of specimens evaluated in a cytology laboratory. The typical clinical presentation is a patient with new onset of urinary symptoms, asymptomatic hematuria, or patient with prior history of urothelial carcinoma on routine surveillance. A careful examination of exfoliated cells from the urinary tract can lead to a fast, relatively simple, economical and accurate cytopathologic diagnosis, which is crucial for timely patient management. However, there are a number of common non-neoplastic reactive conditions that can morp.

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States and has the worst mortality rate of any cancer. It is very likely that the number of deaths from pancreatic cancer each year will surpass the number of deaths from other more common cancers, such as breast cancer. This volume is dedicated to helping curb these daunting statistics by providing a knowledge base for clinicians and scientists who want to make a difference for patients both now and in the future. Edited by an eminent team consisting of a medical oncologist, a cancer surgeon and a pathologist, with contributions from over 100 world-class experts in the field, the book includes 54 state of the art chapters -- all with full color illustrations. Special "Commentaries," written by world authorities on the subject, provide expert analysis and counterpoint to selected topics.
This updated edition remains the essential text for pathologists seeking to make accurate diagnoses from the vast number of differentials.
This text and the terminology developed by the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology (P.S.C.) represents an important advance in the field of pancreaticobiliary cytopathology. This textbook/atlas is designed to present a comprehensive and state of the art approach to the cytologic diagnosis and reporting of pancreaticobiliary lesions. Chapters address each of the diagnostic categories defined by the P.S.C. The definition of each category along with the clinical pathologic entities contained within the category are discussed along with specific cytologic criteria for inclusion of a cytologic specimen within the category. Each chapter is lavishly illustrated demonstrating diagnostic criteria a...

Clinical and radiologic examinations cannot reliably distinguish benign or inflammatory pancreatic disease from carcinoma. The increased use of pancreatic fine needle aspiration (FNA) along with advances in imaging techniques and the introduction of endoscopic ultrasound guidance have led to significantly better detection and recognition of pancreatic masses. Consequently, pancreatic cytopathology is integral to accurate pre-operative diagnosis yet it is a challenging diagnostic area with a variety of potential pitfalls and "look-alike" lesions. Skillful recognition and an awareness of the limitations of the procedure are essential in avoiding misdiagnosis of these dangerous lesions. Atlas o...
