 Overall a must for all AP residents December 18, 2007
Hematopathologist (St. Louis, MO)

This is a single-volume book with concise information. You can carry it to discussion session, AP conferences, and nearly alway find your quick references. It is given in bullets-like format, up to the point. It probably needs update on molecular and immunhistochemistry part. And it is better to have color pictures, instead of black-and-white photos.
 Great for first year residents and beyond July 14, 2003

I purchased this book at the tail end of my first year and wish I had gotten it sooner. It is an awesome quick reference for conferences and sign-out. The descriptions of what to look for in a particular lesion are great. The differential diagnoses are a touch incomplete. However, for the differentials listed, an explanation of why the lesions are different is given. Another bonus is the fact that special stains are included for each lesion (my personal favorite). The book could be a bit more organized, but I think this will come with age. Overall I thinks it's a great book and a good buy (bordering on must buy) for the lost confused eyes of a first year resident.
 Needs improvement January 20, 2003
Edward Nikicicz (midlothian, va United States)
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
A direct quote (p. 866): Clinically, melanomas occuring on the sun-damaged skin of the face and presenting as large irregularly pigmented patches have been referred to as lentigo maligna melanoma.
Does the author know what she is writing about?
Other sections are better. E.g. I quite liked the GI tract. Nevertheless, this book, in its present shape, is a pseudo-help for residents. With so many excellent textbooks available, what is the use of a less than average one?
Required for the Pathology resident's bookshelf July 25, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is a must for all pathology residents, especially those starting out. It is excellent for a quick reference before sign out or conference and is a good starting point for further reading. It should be coupled with a solid surgical pathology reference book such as Sternburg.

6 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is an excellent title and should be part of the required textbook list that all pathology residents should get at the start of their residency. The bullet comment format is very useful and this text is a fine companion to the standard Anatomic Pathology text. It is also perfect for a quick review of a disease entity either at sign-out with staff or prior to a larger scope teaching session. Get this book early in the residency if at all possible.
