Abstract

In this chapter, in addition to the cytopathologic features, a brief discussion of clinical aspects and the approach to diagnosis of the primary site and type of tumor are given.

Metastatic carcinomas are presented in categories of type and pattern. In each category, differential diagnosis is discussed comparing the cytopathologic features and immunoprofile of specific tumors. The second edition has been updated with the latest immunologic markers that help in the differential diagnosis.
