This new full-color pathology atlas is specifically designed to accompany Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease, 7th Edition. More than 1,200 full-color illustrations richly depict all of the major conditions that are most commonly covered in pathology courses and on the USMLEs. Gross and microscopic pathology images are complemented by full-color conceptual line drawings and corresponding radiologic images.
  • Focuses on the major conditions most commonly covered in pathology courses and on the USMLEs.
  • Features an organization that corresponds to the organ system chapters in Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease, 7th Edition.
  • Takes a consistent approach to explore each condition-beginning with a brief summary of its principal clinical features · laboratory findings · and relevant pathology, followed by high-quality photographs illustrating the normal gross and microscopic appearance of the tissues in that body area as well as the main pathological variants.
  • Uses full-color conceptual line diagrams to summarize salient pathologic features.
  • Includes relevant radiologic images depicting diseases' clinical appearance.
  • Delivers completely different images from those found in Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease, 7th Edition, providing readers with a wealth of additional learning material.
  • Displays illustrations at a large size, judiciously labeled to identify key features.
  • Offers an attractive and easy-to-read page format, with numerous summary tables and bulleted lists where appropriate.

ROBBINS AND COTRAN ATLAS OF PATHOLOGY - 1ST EDITION

EDWARD C. KLATT

Reviewed by Dr. Clair Evans SpR, Dept. of Histopathology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, on behalf of The Royal College of Pathologists - www.rcpath.org, October 2006

This is a new addition to the Pathologic Basis of Disease series of books. With an attractive purple and blue coloured cover and is 529 pages long. The book is divided into 20 chapters that are said to closely follow the second unit of the seventh edition of the 'big Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease and the Basic Pathology textbooks. One may ask why an atlas is needed to compliment such a comprehensive predominantly undergraduate text. The author states in the preface that 'the majority of students are 'visual' learners and readily take advantage of visual study material' this book therefore is said to provide 'even more examples of disease processes in a visual format'. The aim of the book is also to provide a greater clinicopathological correlation of disease processes by including photographs of patients, radiographs and gross anatomical specimens as well as the histology.

So, is this book needed or helpful and would I buy a copy? This book definitely complements the Pathologic Basis of Disease series. It provides some useful clinical and radiological images which serve as a good aide memoir when looking at the histology and learning about the disease processes. The Pathological Basis of Disease series of books are regarded by most histopathology trainees to be superior to other general pathology texts for undergraduates and junior histopathology trainees. It is not comprehensive enough to replace a pure histology text.

However, with the current paucipathology undergraduate medical curricula currently in fashion, this would be a good atlas to use with any general pathology textbook. I would even recommend to those pathologists who still bravely volunteer to give undergraduate tutorials to take this book along with them. I think that books like this definitely have a place in the problem based learning setting.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book for boards (USMLE Step 1) review, January 11, 2009
This review is from: Robbins and Cotran Atlas of Pathology, 1e (Hardcover)
If you are in medical school it is hard to use this book and also read big or medium Robbins & do the review questions because of the time constraint. The big or medium robbins contains all the information you need to ace you pathology class & to get a good foundation in pathology. As for studying for the boards using big or little robbins is impractical because it is impossible to cover all 800 pages (medium robbins) or 14oo pages (big robbins) in the time period (1-2 months) set aside for studying for the boards. It is much better to use a review book (i.e. rapid review pathology) to study for the boards. I listened to the 1st comment on this book & bought the book but realized after using it that there are much better (& more efficient) ways to study for the boards. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK TO STUDY FOR THE BOARDS unless you have more than 3 months to study for the boards and even then this book is not the best for board review.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Adjunct to "Big" Robbins & Cotran!, June 27, 2006
By 
MG MD (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robbins and Cotran Atlas of Pathology, 1e (Hardcover)
This new atlas has LOTS of additional photos of pathologic specimens (both gross and microscopic images, with many helpful radiologic correlations) not included in the 7th edition of Robbins & Cotran. The photos are of excellent quality, and follow along, chapter-for-chapter, with the text for ease of review. Key features are highlighted by use of focal symbols placed within the images to direct the reader to landmarks detailed within the corresponding captions. The captions are substantial, and reinforce important concepts by using many of the same key words and phrases found in the more detailed text, as well as including additional information to enhance understanding. One thing is certain: In the field of pathology, pictures always help! This atlas wasn't available when I took sophomore pathology in medical school, but I am glad to now have it as a companion to "Big" Robbins as part of general pathology practice and review. So why didn't I give it "5 stars", you ask? Because there is always room for improvement, and since this is R&C's first atlas, more reviews are needed for this and future editions before extoling perfection. Regardless, I think they're off to a good start!

4.0 out of 5 stars Second edition atlas review, September 21, 2009
Excellent compendium of pictures, and even more than first edition. Accompanying descriptions also quite helpful. If you wish to see a more complete collection of path images- slides/imaging/gross specimens- this is the best book available in the world, I suspect.

My only criticism- this second edition, while having a beautiful cover, may have a limited shelf life BECAUSE THE BEAUTIFUL COVER IS SOFT, AS OPPOSED TO THE FIRST EDITION, which has a hard cover. This deterioration in quality of the cover of medical books in general, as well as this particular book sucks like a Replogle tube. This is why only 4 stars.

I recommend this book to any physician during or after training, because Pathology is the ground floor of all Medicine and separates us from the Massage Therapists.
