About Gross Pathology Handbook: A Guide To Descriptive
Review 4 Stars, 96/100 “As the authors state themselves, this book can be used by trainees to study the specimens and terminology used to describe them. Furthermore, it can be used as a manual during grossing, to compare gross findings with the images and use appropriate terms. It is a one-of-a-kind book on the market and it will nicely complement other grossing and autopsy manuals. I would highly recommend this book to all pathologists.” -- Doody Review Gross Pathology Handbook fills a much needed niche for a reference of terms and examples in gross dissection of autopsy and surgical pathology specimens. This exceptionally illustrated reference is invaluable to pathology laboratories, students, pathologist assistants, and residents, as they build detailed and precise specimen descriptions, the foundation of an accurate diagnosis. -- Ivan Chebib, MD, Instructor in Pathology, Harvard Medical School; Assistant in Pathology, Massachusetts General Hospital Gross Pathology Handbook is an excellent resource for students, teachers and those at the gross bench alike. This comprehensive collection of gross images with their corresponding descriptive text really delivers. Additional information on the tissue type affected, common etiology and sample gross descriptions make it practical and easy to use. It should be a well-thumbed, permanent feature in every gross lab and on the desk of anyone who ever has to read a pathology report. -- Sarah James, Senior Pathologists’ Assistant, University Health Network, Toronto Product Description The updated second edition of this highly practical guide helps pathology professionals quickly and accurately describe surgical and autopsy specimens as they perform gross dissection. It also helps clinicians and medical students interpret pathology reports with ease and precision. Gross Pathology Handbook provides a comprehensive list of 171 gross descriptive terms paired with images of gross specimens, including five new listings for the second edition. Each listing includes a brief commentary describing the gross appearance, the underlying disease process and commonly affected tissues. Christopher Horn and Dr. Christopher Naugler lay the framework for a standardized method of description, resulting in easier interpretation of reports by clinicians and improved communication among healthcare providers. About the Author Christopher Horn, MSc, PA(ASCP)CM (CCCPA-CCCAP) is a clinical lecturer in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Calgary and a pathologists’ assistant at Alberta Precision Laboratories, where he has performed surgical gross dissection and autopsy services since 1999.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION Why this guide? As medical professionals (Christopher Horn is a pathologists’ assistant, Christopher Naugler is a general pathologist and family physician), we have often wanted a resource with a comprehensive list of gross-descriptive terms and examples of gross specimens. We figured such a resource would help not only us, it would help other professionals as well: it could, for example, help standardize gross-descriptive terminology and make pathology reports more succinct. We couldn’t find a resource like this, so we created this guide. This guide pairs a comprehensive list of gross-dissection terms with photographic examples of gross-dissection specimens. It aims to help pathology professionals—pathology residents, pathologists’ assistants, and medical laboratory technicians—describe surgical and autopsy specimens as they perform gross dissection. The pathology gross room and autopsy suite are fascinating places that analyze specimens from the operating room. The specimens often involve a variety of disease pro
