Histology for Pathologists Hardcover – February 15, 2012

I bought this title as a fourth year medical student, when I decided to go into pathology. At first, I thought I'd made a mistake because the text is dense and assumes you know more than what is taught in most med schools (at least in the USA), but now that I'm doing my residency and have more background, I find this text indispensable.First, it's extremely difficult to understand pathology without a firm grasp of normal histology. This book offers an in depth overview without getting bogged down with too many details. It also gives an respectable review of gross anatomy, which has been very helpful for my grossing. The chapter on the cervix, for example, has helped me deal with my hospital's volume of cervical cancer specimens.Second, the hard copy comes with an image bank that's been godsend for setting up my case presentations. It's not for publications, of course, but doing the practice presentations for the rest of the team during academic hours has been much, much easier because I have a trustworthy source for images. And they're crisp, beautiful image with excellent explanations. I'm not sure where else I could look for annotated pictures of normal histology online. Most journal articles focus on pathology slides.So it's pricey, but worth every penny. Considering that I'll be using this text for at least the next four years, it's 100% worth it.

The textbook is great.I just called customer support because the book disappeared from my account on the LWW website. The rep told me that access expires after three years. On the inside cover of the book is written: "Your online access is valid for the life of the print product."

Thank you amazon for the prompt delivery. This book is indispensable for both practicing pathologists and pathologists on training. I think the editors could bring more attractive illustrations to the new edition, otherwise the pictures are superb and efficient. The immense references made the book rather voluminous, which could be deducted and included in the electronic version.

GREAT resource. I am been using it to review/ learn normal histology as I just started pathology residency. Some chapters have more information that I feel is necessary. However, I love that it ties in embryology, molecular medicine, and grossing.

I've heard some people dislike this book but I overall love it, it is intended for a very specific public like clinical pathology residents like myself since it cover all the thing that are normal but you just won't find in a simple histology textbook and of course neither in a pathology book. It has helped me lots.

It's a pretty big book, but I doubt there's anything that even comes close to it.

As veterinary pathologists involved in drug safety we use this book for human comparisons and for placing lesions we see in animals in context for human risk. Cannot recommend highly enough and for the price incredible value.

Thank you.

Recommended to lab users requiring more detail and normal findings. Nicely updated on previous editions. Well worth the outlay, would recommend it.

Excellent book. There is no substitute.

A very good book to have a deep knowledge in histology for Anatomic Pathology residents or Pathologists. Too big for medical students.

良い本だと思う。gays anatomyのような記述的な説明を求めていたので組織図には特に期待をしてなかったが、 kindle voyageでも特に画像を読むのに不都合は感じない。
