Gross Pathology Handbook: A Guide to Descriptive Terms Christopher Horn

Gross Pathology Handbook provides a comprehensive list of gross descriptive terms paired with corresponding images of surgical and autopsy specimens. Each listing includes a brief commentary describing the gross appearance, the underlying disease process, and common sites of the body in which it appears. This book is designed for use in the lab, with liquid-resistant pages that wipe clean and a lay-flat binding.

This collection of images with gross descriptive terms provides a standardized method of description, allowing pathology labs to alleviate, if not eliminate, idiosyncratic variations in surgical gross description. Standardized reporting allows for overall completeness, easier interpretation by clinicians and improved communication between healthcare providers. An indispensable resource for new staff in pathology labs and students who need gross surgical pathology training, this new guide is also useful for PA trainees, residents, and clinicians. Also includes a cross-referenced index.
