About the Book
This Atlas by AR Khan presents an extraordinary and unmatched collection of 191 diagnosed cases of head and neck paragangliomas on FNAC up to December 2023 — the largest series reported in medical literature. While these tumours are rare at low altitudes, their higher incidence at high altitudes remains relatively unexplored. The author, drawing from decades of experience since his first diagnosis in 1988, provides deep clinical, cytological, and histopathological insights, making this work a uniquely valuable reference.

The Atlas includes detailed aspiration techniques, MGG stain–based diagnostic approaches, patient photographs ranging from barely visible swellings to massive tumours, FNAC smear microphotographs, and exhaustive histopathological descriptions. It also documents two exceptional non–head and neck paraganglioma cases — metastatic pheochromocytoma presenting as a sternal mass and urinary bladder paraganglioma presenting with a suprapubic mass — both accurately diagnosed via direct aspiration on MGG-stained smears.

Aimed at cytopathologists, clinicians, and medical academics, this Atlas serves as an essential resource for understanding, identifying, and managing this challenging tumour entity.
