Gross Pathology

This highly practical resource helps pathology professionals quickly and accurately describe surgical and autopsy specimens as they perform gross dissection. It's an indispensable resource for anyone who needs to interpret pathology reports. The convenient app format helps you quickly verify your choice of terms or search for appropriate language through a gallery of related tissue images.

The app is based on content from the book Gross Pathology Handbook: A Guide to Descriptive Terms, which provides a comprehensive list of 166 gross descriptive terms paired with images of gross specimens. Each listing includes a brief commentary describing the gross appearance, the underlying disease process and commonly affected tissues.

In Gross Pathology Handbook, Dr. Christopher Naugler and Christopher Horn lay the framework for a standardized method of description, resulting in easier interpretation of reports by clinicians and improved communication among healthcare providers. The print edition includes a cross-referenced index and lay-flat binding for easy use in the lab.
