When I found everybody goes for Rosai or Sternberg books, I decided to go for something different and found this. I think I did the right thing! The new edition of this book is excellent. Very organized, up-to-date information, and very nice pictures. The text is easily read. The online version of the book makes the task of searching much easier (especially when you feel lazy to pull the heavy books of Sterberg or Rosai from the shelves and surf their pages!!! - they do not exist online!!). If you think to go for this book, you will love it. However, Sternberg has more details than this book (I love the tables in Sternberg)- this is why I didn't give this book five stars- but modern surgical pathology is more organized , concise and exists online. If you combine both in your library, you are set in general surgical pathology.

A new entry in the comprehensive textbooks of surgical pathology, Modern Surgical Pathology is well written resulting in an easy read. It was also the first of the major surg path textbooks to include a CD rom. The CD rom contains additional images that are not in the book supplementing the reader's leraning. I originally bought this book because all of the other residents had Rosai, Silverberg, or Sternberg and I figured that I could always have access to the other texts, however, I have preferred to read Modern Surgical Pathology.
