Grossing Techniques in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology: Basic Procedure and Macroscopic Features of Common Oral Lesions

Gross pathology refers to the macroscopic manifestations of disease in organs, tissues, and body cavities. Grossing is a very important step in surgical pathology and inadequate sampling of the gross specimen can lead to misinterpretation of the slides. For oral and maxillofacial specimens, a careful gross examination and description are infinitely superior to the examination of a random microscopic section. This book provides a highly visual step by step guide to grossing procedure like inital handling of the specimen, from where to take sections, how to do reporting etc. Contains high quality photographs, illustrations and tables that will help readers to understand the topic easily. Although the book is an introductory text but it lays a solid foundation for post graduate students and prepare them for future.
