Published by Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, 2009, pp 288, hardback, £100, ISBN: 978- 0781772044. This represents another offering from the excellent Biopsy Interpretation series that covers most organs. This is a superb book organised into 13 chapters spanning the normal thyroid gland and covering various morphological/pattern- based entities that the surgical pathologist is likely to encounter. The index is functional and user friendly. The integration of ﬁne needle aspiration cytology with histological interpretation is a particular strength; one that has been interweaved rather seam- lessly. The text is written in a clear, concise, lucid style. The authors state their opinions and feelings about the more controversial areas in thyroid pathology quite plainly and unequivocally. The comments and diagnostic criteria are well set out and leave the reader in no doubt how to interpret what they may encounter in histological sections and as well as with cytological preparations. I used it as a bench book beside my micro- scope and was thrilled to see as much as three illustrations of the rather uncommon lymphoepithelial cyst of the thyroid! The illustrations are magniﬁcent throughout and for this the authors should be complimented. The book illustrations are supplemented by electronic images. In summary, this book blends ﬁne needle aspiration cytology ﬁndings with the histo- logical appearances in a cogent, clear and authoritative fashion. I would thoroughly recommend every pathologist and trainee who encounters thyroid pathology to read this book, and have it within easy access of your microscope.
