Main description:

Salivary gland cytopathology is one of the most challenging areas of diagnostic cytology. Salivary Gland Cytopathology will use a simplified algorithmic approach based upon differential diagnostic groups to cover practical aspects of diagnosing common as well as challenging salivary gland lesions.

This volume published in the "Essentials in Cytopathology" book series will fulfill the need for an easy-to-use and authoritative synopsis of site specific topics in cytopathology. These guide books fit into the lab coat pocket, ideal for portability and quick reference. Each volume is heavily illustrated with a full color art program, while the text follows a user-friendly outline format.
