"This is not a book for first time pathology learners, but rather a review of the most important features of different entities with excellent and very helpful images. Students can rest assured that all important (and less important) topics in pathology have been covered. Newly added Margin Notes are also very helpful as a quick review of key facts. Without a doubt, this book will continue to be one of the must-haves for board preparation." Reviewed by Anamarija M. Perry, MD (University of Michigan Medical School) Doody's Score: 93, 4 Stars!
