In 1999, Dr. Richard DeMay decided to buck the trend of large print references with this portable, practical reference. Since then, 'Practical Principals of Cytopathology' has served surgical pathologists as a ready reference easily carried to a colleague's office. The newly updated version continues to provide encyclopedic coverage of material that the diagnostician needs to have at hand and brings the comprehensive coverage completely up to date. With extensive changes in understanding and nomenclature for many diseases in recent years, this new edition is critical and timely. Every chapter has been completely updated to provide the latest information on scientific advances. In particular, chapters on lymphoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumors have been revamped to incorporate the latest intelligence in these areas. Because it is now the most commonplace method for performing Pap testing, a completely new chapter has been added on liquid- based Pap testing, complete with scores of new quality images to support the information.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A concise but comprehensive book with great images,
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical Principles of Cytopathology (Hardcover)
This book, like its big brother (The Art and Science of Cytopathology, by the same author), is well written, even fun to read. It includes virtually the entire realm of morphologic cytopathology in a concise, portable format. It is well organized with separate chapters for the Pap smear, fluids and organ systems in some cases and individual organs in others. It even includes a chapter on gonads and a microbiology chapter covering many "bugs" that can be seen in cytologic specimens. The images are of excellent quality (as we have come to expect from Dr. DeMay) and include appropriate examples of specimens stained with Papanicolaou and Diff-Quick methods, in addition to some illustrative H&E histology. This book is an excellent addition to the library of the pathology resident, cytotechnologist and even practicing pathologist for a quick consultation, and I enthusiastically recommend it.

A Must Have.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical Principles of Cytopathology (Hardcover)
I like to call this book "baby DeMay". It's very well organized, great pictures, and a whole lot easier to haul off the shelf than the Big Daddy DeMays. Excellent as a quick reference and/or a study tool.

Concise, Readable, yet Advanced,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Practical Principles of Cytopathology (Hardcover)
Although concise, this so-called "baby DeMay" is far from incomplete or immature, and can serve as an excellent cytopathology resource for a pathology resident. (A staff pathologist with occasional responsibilities in signing out cytologic specimens may also find it useful.) But for the cytopathology component of general pathology boards, this book is arguably the only resource one requires, and is certainly a valuable component of a residency library.
