This highly practical resource helps pathology professionals quickly and accurately describe surgical and autopsy specimens as they perform gross dissection. Its 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.

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.
