Summary:

Covering anatomical, clinical, pathological and laboratory aspects of surgical histopathology specimens, this book relates specimen dissection and its clinical context to relevant histopathology reports and therefore a more comprehensive patient prognosis and management is possible. Histopathology Specimens -- Clinical, Pathological and Laboratory Aspects explains pathological and clinical terminology, including a glossary of clinical request form abbreviations. It offers a standardised step-wise approach to specimen handling illustrated by simple line diagrams and highlights essentials of the histopathology report relating them to appropriate specimen dissection. This book will act as a reference tool for the medical trainee in histopathology and biomedical scientist and a useful aide memoire for the histopathology consultant.
