Atlas of Urinary Cytopathology : With Histopathologic Correlations

The __Atlas of Urinary Cytopathology__ is a generously illustrated and user-friendly volume that serves as a desk reference and a practical guide in the diagnostically challenging are of urinary cytopathology. The text is comprised of 500 high-resolution color images that thoroughly illustrate the important aspects of the cytopathology of urinary tract disease. Complete coverage of urinary cytopathology is provided; in addition to full coverage of non-neoplastic lesions, benign and borderline neoplasms and urothelial carcinoma, chapters include normal cytology, uncommon primary neoplasms, upper urinary tract lesions, and metastatic and secondary cancers. Selected images of the histopathologic characteristics of the lesions are also included for morphologic correlation, making this text attractive to both cytopathologists and surgical pathologists.

Syed Z. Ali ... [et Al.]. Includes Index. 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 Contains 500 high-resolution color images that illustrate the important aspects of the cytopathology of urinary tract disease. This title provides coverage of urinary cytopathology, non-neoplastic lesions, benign and borderline neoplasms and urothelial carcinoma. It is of interest to both cytopathologists and surgical pathologists.
