Cytology Basics: What are These Cells Doing? Vet Lab Med Mini-talk 6

Ever stared at a slide full of cells and wondered, "What are these things actually doing?" 🔬 This is your no-stress crash course in cytology — the fast, cheap, needle-and-slide diagnostic that can crack a case in minutes. We skip the rote memorization and take a systems approach instead: Is it inflammation, normal tissue, or neoplasia? From spotting septic vs. sterile inflammation to nailing the criteria of malignancy, decoding round cell vs. epithelial vs. mesenchymal tumors, and reading lymph nodes like a pro — plus real-world favorites like mast cell tumors, lipomas, and lymphoma. Stick around for three case challenges to test yourself! 🐾 Perfect for vet students, techs, and practitioners who want to read samples with confidence (and never formalin-fix a cytology slide again 😉).
