By Neda Zarrin-Khameh MD MPH, Maryam Mohammadkhani MD, Mingjuan L. Zhang MD

Gross Pathology Atlas: A Guide to Gross Specimen Evaluation is a novel reference dedicated to ‘gross’ images. Gross pathology is the branch of pathology that deals with the examination and diagnosis of diseases through the observation of organs, tissues, and bodily fluids with the naked eye, without the aid of a microscope. It involves the examination of specimens obtained during surgery, autopsy, or biopsy. This book serves as an essential tool for diagnosing diseases. By observing macroscopic features, pathologists can identify diseases or conditions affecting various organs and tissues for example, to detect tumors, inflammation, infections, and degenerative changes. Gross pathology specimens serve as invaluable teaching aids for medical students, residents, and healthcare professionals. They provide tangible examples of disease manifestations, facilitating the understanding of pathological processes. Moreover, gross pathology specimens are essential for research purposes, allowing scientists to study disease mechanisms, develop new treatments, and advance medical knowledge.
