"This book summarizes the cytopathology of disease processes of the mediastinum in a practical way, with plenty of quality graphics for its small size. ... This is intended as a resource for cytopathologists, cytopathology fellows, cytotechnology students, and upper level pathology residents. It is indeed a great resource for all of the above, but it is also helpful for clinical practitioners and fellows. ... Other medical professionals interested in the area also will find it useful." (Manuel Lora Gonzalez, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2015)
