Help students face diagnostic challenges with this guide to specimen collection and evaluation! Canine and Feline Cytology: A Color Atlas and Interpretation Guide, 3rd Edition provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic cytology for companion animals, covering all body systems. Hundreds of photomicrographs show cytology of normal structures to contrast and support identification of cytology of inflammatory, hyperplastic, and neoplastic lesions. Enhancements to this new edition include more histopathologic correlates, expanded immunochemical stains and molecular-based testing to further define the neoplastic cell type, and descriptive schematics that illustrate pathophysiologic concepts. Written by seasoned veterinary cytologists Rose Raskin and Denny Meyer — with over 80 years of combined microscopic experiences — along with 20 expert contributors, this reference offers clear, practical guidelines to sampling procedures, slide preparation, and interpretation leading to diagnoses and/or classification of the cytologic findings.
