Abstract
Maximize diagnostic information from each and every autopsy
- Cases presented as seen in clinical practice , from clinical chart review through autopsy performance and important reporting criteria
- Topical chapters are organized more broadly while disease-specific chapters are similar to other surgical pathology chapters in the Diagnostic Pathology series
- Detailed dissection descriptions in the organ system chapters provide step-by-step guidance with even the most difficult technical aspects of autopsy performance
- Approximately 1,500 high-quality, carefully annotated color images provide important clinical and diagnostic information
- Chapters covering every system and expanded sections with key clinical information help the pathologist perform the most comprehensive evaluations
- Case presentation highlights important aspects of reporting that impact clinicians as well as next of kin
