Cytopathology book suggestion- we use Diff-Quik

Hello

We mostly use Diff-Quik for FNAC and I was wondering if someone could suggest a good book for residency (a beginner at FNAC). I have this little book for thyroid (got it from the library) - Thyroid cytopathology by Douglas P. Clark.

So was wondering what would be the best book for me to invest in as a newbie resident. I work in Norway and we have a different residency system (hence starting cytopathology already).

Thanks for your help 🙂

these two books are great investments for a pathology resident. lots of good pics and practical info. if you go into cytology you'll need the bigger "bibles" but for the rest of us, it's probably enough:

http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Pri...=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325339838&sr=1-3

I'm familiar with the second one (the so-called 'baby DeMay') and agree it's pretty useful overall for cytology. I actually still think a text by Frost from 1972 (Concepts Basic to General Cytopathology - Johns Hopkins Press) remains a good introduction as far as the foundations of cytopath goes, though it's probably hard to find. If nothing else it's a very quick read, as in less than a day. As a point of trivia, evidently a Farsi edition was published in 1965, though what prompted such an effort I have no idea.

I also strongly recommend both of these books. We actually use the Cibas book for our "book club" in my fellowship program. That is the text our faculty felt was most high yield for board prep. I also own the Koss 2 volume Diagnostic Cytology book that I use as a backup reference in my fellowship.

There's an updated version of Frost's text out now: 'Cytohistology", by Gupta and Baloch. Available on Amazon, in English at least (http://amzn.com/052188358X)... for a Farsi version you're probably on your own.
