In the 8 years since the publication of the first edition of Essentials of Anatomic Pathology, great strides have been made in our understanding of diseases and neoplastic processes. Many clinically important new histopathologic entities have been described or more fully defined in virtually every organ. Numerous clinically important diagnostic and prognostic markers have entered routine practice. Genetic testing for the early detection of cancers and the molecular classification of diseases has become increasingly important. This is an age of enlightenment in surgical pathology, and the authors of this new volume have captured this sense of excitement herein.
This much praised and widely used reference manual on has been extensively revised and expanded to cover the entire field of anatomic pathology. The Third Edition features the incorporation of full-color images in the text with updates of new diagnostic and prognostic information. New classifications and numerous new entities and histologic variants are fully explored. Useful immunostaining biomarkers and emerging molecular targets and relevant molecular findings that have emerged from recent genomic studies are incorporated in each chapter.
Written by internationally recognized authorities, the comprehensive, evidence-based practice information is presented in an outline format that is clear and easy to follow. Up-to-date and richly detailed, Essentials of Anatomic Pathology, Third Edition offers both the pathologist-in-training and the practicing pathologist a concise summary of all the critical information needed to recognize, understand and interpret anatomic pathology.
Recommended book by the Training and Education Committee of the Association of Molecular Pathology for those preparing for the Molecular Genetic Pathology board exam administered by the American Board of Pathology and the American Board of Pathology.
From the reviews of the third edition:
“It covers the essentials in a user-friendly (outline or bulleted format) and is well illustrated with color photographs. … It is intended for residents, but it also can be used as an authoritative reference for quick review by academic and practicing diagnostic pathologists. It will find its way into general medical libraries … . I predict that this spruced up and quite attractive third edition with high quality glossy paper will prove even more popular than its predecessors.” (Ivan Damjanov, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2011)
Reviews of the First Edition:
"This book has many great qualities: it is written by an impressive panel of authoritative experts; it is concise yet complete; it is well structured, practical, and easy to consult…Essentials of Anatomic Pathology achieves the challenging task of incorporating information on new ancillary tools in a general reference on anatomic pathology and at the same time rendering it in a readily accessible format without sacrificing substance. For practicing surgical pathologists, it is an up-to-date practical source of information for daily sign-out." -The American Journal of Surgical Pathology

"…a valuable addition to the shelves of anatomic pathology departments and undoubtedly useful to practicing pathologists and trainees alike."
-Journal of Pathology
"…amazingly rich in detail and up-to-date information."
-Pathology
"…drawing on the expertise of an impressive line up of no less than 51 contributors, the authors seemingly attempt the impossible but have nevertheless succeeded in producing a quick reference of anatomic pathology…To the trainee this is an invaluable and indispensable aid for last minute panic study. Practicing pathologists across the whole spectrum from histopathologists through forensic pathologists to microbiologists will find it useful when navigating unfamiliar or long-forgotten water after years of sub-specialization…Again one wished that this book had been around twenty years ago."
-Anil Aggrawal's Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine
"Covers the entire general and organ system pathology…up-to-date, comprehensive, and well done." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review
From the reviews of the second edition:
"The task of writing a book on the whole of pathology in fewer than 1,500 pages is something that could be considered to be close to impossible. Yet the luminaries David G Bostwick and Liang Cheng have achieved that in this splendid work. Essentials succinctly covers almost everything that could be regarded as required reading … . I found it clear and easy to follow. … this would be an excellent addition to any pathology department bookshelf. … this book is a true gem." (Dr. R Chakraborty, acp News, Winter, 2006)
"…an excellent addition to any pathology department bookshelf. Furthermore, for trainees approaching exams this book is a true gem." -ACP News
