This book provides a detailed update on all aspects of fine-needle
aspiration cytology of breast lesions. It will serve readers as an
up-to-date reference and atlas on both new entities in breast
pathology, including borderline lesions such as flat epithelial
atypia, and the classic benign and malignant lesions. Throughout,
emphasis is placed on the characteristic diagnostic features as
well as the common pitfalls faced by cytologists. As cytologic
features can be highly variable, corresponding cytology and
histology images are displayed together, enabling readers to gain a
good understanding of the morphologic features of various lesions.
Core-needle biopsy and fine-needle aspiration cytology are compared
in depth, with attention to their relative strengths and weaknesses
and indications. In addition, the impact of molecular
classification of breast cancers on cytologic diagnosis is
explored, and the use of molecular techniques in diagnostic
cytology is discussed.
