Atlas of Diagnostic Hematology by Mohamed Salama

This project began with the idea to create a cytogenetic atlas to accompany Dr. Ronald Hoffman’s voluminous text Hematology and Dr. Hoffbrand’s Atlas of Hematology. As firsttime editors, we were not sure what we were doing or where we were going; however, we reached out to interested junior colleagues and mentors, and we thought of highlighting the rich resource of cases at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine and Tisch Cancer Center presented at our numerous multidisciplinary tumor boards. What emerged over approximately two years was a variety and range of chapters, which were then categorized into factual (text based), case-based, and case-like formats integrating ancillary work-up as well as diagnostic algorithms.
