Editor’s Choice: Cytopathology 2012;23(2)

A review article by Lobo et al. has been selected as Editor’s choice for free access during April and May because it deals with a type of specimen familiar to most cytopathologists (serous fluid) and covers all aspects of a rare group of conditions caused by Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus: aetiology, clinical findings, cytomorhology, immunocytochemistry and molecular biology.  This article forms part of the April issue’s theme of ‘haematocytopathology’ dealing with the overlap between cytopathology and haematology.  Professor Zeppa discusses this overlap in his editorial, while Gong et al. demonstrate the importance of bone marrow imprints of trephine biopsies – among other articles and letters on the same theme.

Books on cytology

A textbook on one of the most common and difficult topics in CytoPathology

The serosal cavities are affected by a large number of benign and malignant processes, and serous effusions constitute one of the most commonly seen specimen types in cytopathology. Unlike other areas within cytopathology, which have practically become extinct, such as fine needle aspiration of the prostate, or that are being challenged by other diagnostic approaches, such as breast and cervical cytology in the context of core biopsies and HPV testing, respectively, effusions are here to stay.
