When we began work on the first edition of this book in 1983, our plan was to put together a practical handbook focusing mainly on the kind of lesions and conditions that a hospital pathologist was likely to face in routine practice. We wanted to provide short checklists and carefully selected illustrations, which would be useful in the diagnostic work at the microscope, in the compact format of a handbook. Hence the title Manual and Atlas of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology.
The second and third editions were the result of an irresistible incentive to cover an increasing number of pathological entities including less common conditions, to try to illustrate the variability of patterns seen in some entities and to reflect the extraordinary proliferation of the literature on fine needle aspiration cytology. In the fourth edition we sought to illustrate the cytological features of most entities as seen both in air-dried MGG-stained and in alcohol-fixed Pap-stained smears in parallel, and to include the main immunocytochemical findings in the lists of cytological diagnostic criteria. All this inevitably led to an expansion of text, illustrations and references, and thus the format of the book departed, to a degree, from the original concept.
The text of all chapters has been updated for the current edition. Many illustrations have been exchanged or improved, and some new photos have been added. In this process, every effort was made to avoid a major increase in the overall volume of both text and pictures. Several new co-authors have joined the team and have made invaluable contributions. Dr Steve Chryssidis has revised and updated Chapter 3, Dr John Miliauskas Chapter 5, Dr Gita Jayaram Chapter 6, Drs Joan Cangiarella and Aylin Simsin Chapter 7, Drs Amanda Segal and Felicity Frost Chapters 8 and 9Chapter 8 Chapter 9, Dr Bastiaan de Boer Chapters 10 and 11Chapter 10 Chapter 11, Dr Miguel Perez-Guillermo Chapter 13, Dr Henryk Domanski Chapters 14, 15 and 16Chapter 14 Chapter 15 Chapter 16 and Drs Reda Saad and Harsharan Singh Chapter 17. A new chapter specifically on the cytological findings in infectious diseases has been added by Dr Andrew Field. As a result, the book has taken on the format of a textbook on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. Some readers may regret the departure from the convenient compact handbook format, but we hope that the changes have resulted in worthwhile increased coverage and usefulness.
