very good

compact and easy to follow guidelines on how to handle gross specimens. Definitely worth buying. I especially like the accompanying tables on immunohistochemistry and special stains, which helps a lot in daily work.

a must for pathology resident

This book is a survivor kit for pathology residents and foreign pathologist trying to start it over again in literate pathology English. Just open it next to your grossing bench (not on, please) and start your "no rubbish" dictation of the specimen. The best book about grossing I have ever seen.

Great book to relieve the residency anxiety!

I found this book greatly helpful. It saved me in the beginning of my pathology residency! It relieved my residency anxiety. I think this book is indispensible for pathology residents. It helps you to learn specimen grossing. The table of the special stains is great. You may never find such a table in another book.

An excellent practical guide to pathology

This text provides an excellent practical guide to pathologic dissection and case submission. The pointers on tumor staging and important items for the final diagnosis of specimens helps one prepare the final case report. An excellent guide for pathology residents, pathology assistants, and pathologists alike.

Extremely handy

This is a book that all residents should have with them for quick references in gross and microscopic surgical anatomy reporting. To my knowledge it is the most comprehensive book that caters to the needs of a young pathologist. I particularly like the very concise sample dictations and the relevant facts on tumor staging needed. I wish this book was published at the beginning of my residency, it would have made everthing more enjoyable.
