In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. As a result, the pathology intern often comes into residency unprepared. Completely illustrated in color, this book lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. It includes basic introductory material and progresses through each organ system. Within each chapter, there is a brief review of salient normal histology, a discussion of typical specimen types, a strategic approach to the specimen, and a discussion of how the multitude of different diagnoses relate to each other.

If you are reading this book, it is likely that you are either in pathology training or considering pathology as a specialty. This book is an attempt to bridge a gap between the way pathology is taught to medical students and the way you must learn to prac- tice it as a resident. In medical school, with tacit acknowledgment that most students are not going to become pathologists, we teach pathology as it intersects with pathophysiology and pharmacology.

Robbins and Cotran’s Pathologic Basis of Disease is the most prominent example of this approach and is an excellent and comprehensive text for this purpose. However, this book does not teach the more practical aspects of pathology practice, such as differential diagnoses, special stains, biopsy interpretation, the assessment of margins, and tumor grading and staging.

These are the nuts and bolts of pathology practice, the countless subtleties, shades of gray, and conventions of semantics that go into creating a patient’s diagnosis. For this, the resident must turn to the huge volume of literature for practicing pathologists, from the gen- eral surgical pathology texts such as Sternberg’s Diagnostic Surgical Pathology and Rosai and Ackerman’s Surgical Pathology to the highly detailed organ-system texts.

This book, inspired by my own rocky and somewhat prolonged learning curve, is an attempt to create an intermediate step.

This book is intended to be a crash course in the basic facts that you are expected to know when you begin your surgical pathology rotations. In this book, you will find organ-based chapters that describe the approach to specimens, descriptions of common diagnoses, pitfalls, practical pearls, differential diagnoses, and key requirements of written diagnoses.

The goal is for you to be able to read a chapter in 20 min and come away knowing enough about a speci- men to hold an intelligent conversation with the attending at the microscope. Early in training, you do not have to get the diagnosis right to get credit—you just need to demonstrate a sound thought process and some background knowledge. If you already know the language, you can focus on asking the really practical questions, such as “How do you know it is X and not Y?” and “How do you handle this if you cannot show definite invasion?” These are the conversa- tions that will enable you to function independently when you are finally out in the real world. This book will also be useful to medical students rotating through pathology. Many students are given the opportunity to preview cases like a resident but will quickly find their second- – year pathology course does not really help in formulating a diagnosis. This book is written at a level that should be accessible to students, enabling them to get more out of their pathology rotation by understanding the more interesting diagnostic challenges involved in even routine specimens.
