Essentials of Anatomic Pathology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of several outlines available for purchase in book form covering anatomic pathology. Essentially, what you are purchasing is a nice set of review notes for boards preparation. This multiauthor book like all texts has some chapters that are stronger than others. Some authors (particuarly breast) have let their own classification schemes come out--for better or worse (but a book like this just doesn't have room for lengthy debates on fine points). The chapters "essentially" follow Rosai's textbook, and the strongest asset is it's numerous tables. Expensive, but I think it's better than its direct competitors.
