Clinical Cytopathology of the Head and Neck A Text and Atlas

From difficult beginnings, the technique of fine needle aspiration cytology has grown and developed to the extent that it is now accepted as a routine investigation for many conditions, especially those for which invasive surgical biopsy carries a risk of damage to delicate organs and tissues, or where the costs of surgical intervention are prohibitive. Clinical Cytopathology of the Head and Neck is designed to provide a complete, single volume account of cytopathology of head and neck conditions. It draws upon the vast experience of its author in dealing with many referrals from ear, nose and throat, maxillofacial and general surgeons, endocrinologists and oncologists to provide a one-stop bench book and reference for both the trainee and practising pathologists. Over 475 high-quality colour illustrations, including unique macroscopic photographs which clearly show how patients actually present in the clinic or hospital environment, complement the concise but comprehensive text. It is essential reading for all trainee practising histopathologists and cytopathologists, ENT and maxillofacial surgeons, endocrinologists, and all healthcare professionals with an interest in the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck conditions.
