Hey

Can someone suggest a good histopathology atlas with lots of pictures and some text describing the pathology (and perhaps pointing out important details)? I currently have access to Wheater's basic histopathology.

Thanks

see my post to your prior. you do not want "basic". that is what 1st yr med students "memorize" and then forget. don't look for an easy out.

Rosai, followed by Sternberg. Repeat. Repeat again.

You will not be reading books when you become an attending.

Hey

One of my senior colleagues told me to first read either a Rubin or a Robbin and to wait with Rosai!?
 
Well, Robbins does have some useful information. But as one of my former attendings was fond of proclaiming, it's a medical student text and you should already have it memorized! I don't quite buy that, even in retrospect -- I used it some in board preparation and had a couple of attendings who would occasionally refer to it for certain things. However, I wouldn't call it particularly useful as a substitute for a dedicated -histopath- or surg path text with lots of relevant histologic images. More useful perhaps as a text to read over during your first few months, or to review the relevant chapter the first day or so when you start a new rotation, but I think most will quickly need something more like Rosai/Sternberg/etc. for tumor/abnormal during surg path rotations +/- something like Histology for Pathologists moreso for normal/variants (one of the big things to learn as a newbie is "normal" vs "abnormal", then figure out what the abnormal means, if anything).
