This textbook provides a step-by-step, real-world approach to grossing a wide variety of surgical cases. Each figure is produced directly from the bench during the grossing process with the associated dictation. These specimens contain the imperfections of real-life cases with illustrations drawn by renown medical illustrationist Kyle Cunningham. This book is not a bullet-point list of what to do but rather a step-by-step, photographed approach to grossing each specimen. Key features include photographic documentation of optimal methods for handling gross specimens commonly seen in the pathology laboratory, medical illustrations that highlight key anatomic features, and tips and tricks to produce optimal diagnostic sections for pathologic diagnosis. Each chapter also includes multiple choice questions to help apply the knowledge and skills learned in the readings.
Manual of Pathologic Grossing is designed to support pathologists’ assistants, pathology residents, pathologists and medical student. It is a deliberative teaching manual meant to be taken into the lab and used at the bench to provide consultative support. This book is specifically focused on pathology residents learning grossing skills when no one is around to answer questions.
