Biopsy Interpretation of the Thyroid
by Scott L. Boerner

Biopsy Interpretation of the Thyroid is a practical guide and bench reference for the interpretation of neck biopsies that involve thyroid and parathyroid tissue.

The text covers common thyroid biopsies, parathyroid biopsies that are frequent surgical specimens, and uncommon aspirates that may be mistaken for thyroid. Coverage also includes state-of-the-art information on immunohistochemistry, molecular diagnostics, and laser scanning cytometry. More than 250 full-color illustrations complement the text.

A companion Website will provide 500 additional figures, Parathyroid Pearls, and a test bank that is ideal for board exam preparation.
