The Atlas of Adult Autopsy Pathology serves as a comprehensive full-color guide for individuals engaged in performing or learning the intricacies of adult autopsies.

Featuring over 700 high-quality color clinical images, the Atlas of Adult Autopsy Pathology encompasses a wide range of diseases, from the commonly encountered to the rare. This extensive visual representation allows for quick identification and understanding of pathological conditions. Some diagnoses can be established solely based on the macroscopic appearance, while others necessitate further investigation. The atlas offers clear guidance on when additional examination is warranted, ensuring that users are well-equipped to make informed decisions during autopsy evaluations.
What sets this atlas apart from others is its emphasis on interpretation and practical application. It goes beyond merely presenting images by providing concise instructions on how to analyze macroscopic findings effectively. Designed as a visual reference, the Atlas of Adult Autopsy Pathology is an invaluable tool for rapid diagnosis, making it a critical asset for trainees, consultant pathologists, anatomical pathology technicians, and medico-legal specialists alike.
"This atlas is more than a collection of images. It provides reliable instruction on the interpretation of macroscopic findings … [and] represents a wealth of information for medical students, pathology trainees, more experienced pathologists, and physicians interested in pathology."
