Book Reviews
5 Stars! "This is the sixth edition of a renowned textbook that offers a comprehensive yet concise overview of foundational principles in every aspect of cytopathology. It covers specimen collection and preparation methods; cytologic features of normal, benign, and malignant entities; differential diagnoses; relevant ancillary studies and molecular alterations; updated classification systems; and laboratory management.... [It] continues to serve as an incredibly valuable resource for cytopathology and stands out as an authoritative and essential resource for anyone involved in the evaluation of cytology specimens, whether in clinical practice or training. Its organization and layout are intuitive and visually appealing, making it ideal for both learning and reference. It is succinct yet thorough, delivering clear clinical information along with detailed descriptions of morphologic patterns, findings, relevant differential diagnoses, and practical guidance on ancillary testing -- all to optimize patient care and enhance diagnostic confidence.... Numerous well-annotated, high-quality photomicrographs provide an outstanding visual reference for diagnosis and rapid on-site evaluation. With the added convenience of robust online access, this book is highly recommended for practicing pathologists, cytopathologists, cytologists, and trainees alike." Review by Madelyn Lew, MD (University of Michigan Medical School), ©Doody's Review Service, 2025. Doody's Score: 100, 5 Stars!
Review of the previous edition:
"…I would highly recommend this book to all pathologists, especially those working towards the Part 2 exam. I believe it could be of educational value, whether you choose to read the text cover to cover, or use it to flick through and look at some of the beautifully presented images." -Dr Hannah Hawrot (Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, January 2021)
