SURGICAL PATHOLOGY DISSECTION: AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE fills the need for
a comprehensive, fully illustrated guide to the preparation,
dissection, and handling of surgical pathology tissue specimens.
Arranged according to organ system, this practical manual covers the
clinically important features of various specimens and lesions.
The authors share their wealth of talent and experiences by providing
general principles that can be employed to resolve even the most
complex problems in dissection and tissue sampling. The descriptive
text is enhanced by exclusive, detailed illustrations depicting proper
specimen handling techniques that add a unique vitality and
multidimensional effect. In addition, each chapter features a section
on Important Issues to Address in Your Surgical Pathology Report and
references selected for their pertinent coverage of specimen handling
for each organ system.
"Hruban, Westra, and Isacson, working with a superb medical
illustrator (Phelps), did an admirable job in taking the Johns
Hopkins' gross room manual and translating it into a practical,
concise, and easily accessible guide to contemporary practice in the
surgical pathology laboratory... Each specimen also contains a
bulleted list of the important factors that need to be included in the
surgical pathology report; this list provides clear, rational basis
for most of the manipulations of the gross specimens." --Modern
Pathology
Reviews
From a reviews:
"...an excellent practical product which helps formulate pertinent particulars about those tissues which require examination during the dissection. Highlights include illustrations which have been thoughtfully prepared and labeled to answer those questions which pathologists find particularly vexing... This book is excellent and will be useful in the cut-up room of every pathology department. Bravo!" (International Journal of Gynecologic Pathology)
