challenging specimens in a timely manner in order to optimize clinical response.
PATHOLOGY
FEATURES
• Effectively interpret the newer liquid-based cytologic preparationsof thyroid aspirates, as well as the traditional wet-
fixed Papanicolaou-stained and air-dried Romanowski-stained preparations, with richly illustrated, in-depth coverage of
all these approaches.
• Apply the latest molecular diagnostic techniques for evaluating follicular/Hürthle cell lesions of the thyroid gland,
prognostication of papillary thyroid carcinomas, and other difficult challenges.
• Obtain balanced guidance on ultrasound-guided FNA biopsy with contributions from both radiologists and
endocrinologists.
• Recognize essential clinical features by comparing your specimens to more than 1,700 full-color photomicrographs that
depict the full range of fine needle aspiration biopsy findings, including unusual as well as typical patterns.
• Avoid diagnostic pitfalls with an emphasis on overlapping patterns and differential diagnosis.
