Khalbuss I dedicate this book to my parents, my children, and my supportive husband as well as the many great pathologists who have shared both their knowledge and their friendship with me. Marilee Means Preface This book provides a comprehensive in-depth systems-based review of gynecological cytology including cytomorphology, pitfalls, and ancillary testing presented in a high-yield review fol- lowed by board-type questions and discussions. It is an excellent review and self-assessment for pathologists, cytopathologists, and cytologists, as well as cytology trainees (e.g., pathology residents, cytopathology fellows, and cytotechnology students). The book includes ten chap- ters covering technique, cytomorphology, ancillary testing, management, legal, and QA topics. Each chapter contains introductory high-yield review on the subject with tables and key points emphasizing useful criteria and concepts needed to make diagnoses in common and uncom- mon cases and to avoid diagnostic pitfalls. • The book contains 64 summary tables, a wealth of full high-quality color photomicrographs of over 784 images, and review questions of 736 text-based and image-based multiple- choice questions (MCQs) that focus on practical diagnostic knowledge that will be useful to cytology trainees seeking basic information and also those with more experience who would like to fi ne-tune their skills. • The book also features chapters dedicated to breast FNA, Pap test clinical management, laboratory management, and quality assurance as related to gynecological cytology.
