Diagnostic Pathology: Hospital Autopsy, a volume in the highly regarded
Diagnostic Pathology series, is the first reference to present
autopsy pathology in the way in which it is practiced clinically. The
unique approach in presenting classic autopsy techniques also
emphasizes the role of molecular studies and other laboratory and
ancillary tests (cytology, radiographic analysis) not commonly thought
of during autopsy practice. The practices covered will help maximize
diagnostic information from each and every autopsy. Complete coverage
of every aspect of autopsy practice-including clinical presentation
with chart review, technical and diagnostic aspects of autopsy
performance, and reporting-makes this an invaluable guide for the
resident in training and practicing pathologist.
Cases presented as seen in clinical practice, from clinical chart review
through autopsy performance and important reporting criteria
Topical chapters are organized more broadly while disease-specific
chapters are similar to other surgical pathology chapters in the
Diagnostic Pathology series
Detailed dissection descriptions in the organ system chapters provide
step-by-step guidance with even the most difficult technical aspects
of autopsy performance
Approximately 1,500 high-quality, carefully annotated color images
provide important clinical and diagnostic information
Chapters covering every system and expanded sections with key clinical
information help the pathologist perform the most comprehensive
evaluations
Case presentation highlights important aspects of reporting that
impact clinicians as well as
next of kin
