'Overall, I found this to be a useful book, which is beautifully illustrated and provides relevant, up to date information. It goes beyond merely presenting the cytological features of particular lesions and provides information regarding immunohistochemical staining and cytogenetics. This book would make an excellent reference text for any laboratory practicing soft tissue cytology and would be a useful book for those seeking to understand soft tissue tumours from a cytological point of view.'

«Zweck des hier vorliegenden Werkes ist es zu zeigen, dass mit Hilfe der Feinnadelbiopsie an Weichteiltumoren mit Erfolg eine Erstdiagnose gestellt werden kann. Alle Tumoren sind verständlich beschrieben, das gesamte Werk ist hervorragend bebildert. Diese Monographie dürfte für jeden Zytopathologen ein erstklassiges Nachschlagewerk sein.»

W. Kühnel, Lübeck (Annals of Anatomy, Vol. 186, No. 1, 2004)

'At just over 100 pages, this hardcover book is somewhat slimmer than others in the series. However, it maintains the high standards set by those preceding it. It is superbly illustrated with large, high-quality colour photomicrographs on almost every page. These stand out in contrast to many recent pathology texts that have used digital images with less than optimal results. Information on individual entities is very well presented with a description of the cytologic features, an adjacent summary of the pertinent features, and numerous tables comparing and contrasting features of entities within the differential diagnosis. The text is concise and not dogmatic. The overall organization is excellent and the book is easy to use.
This book deals with a highly specialised field within diagnostic cytology, a field that many cytopathologists are not comfortable or confident with. Its outstanding presentation and intelligent discussion make it a worthwhile reference for any cytology department which may potentially receive such specimens. Furthermore, for those who just want a complete set of this notable series, it's worth it!'
