Pathology in Clinical Practice: 50 Case Studies

So you've learnt the principls behind basic pathology and the mechanisms of disease; now consolidate your knowledge by putting those principles into clinical practice. here are fifty structured clinical scenarios to help you do so. Each case is based on a clinical situation that pulls together the key pathological, radiological and clinical aspects of a condition, while the questions and answers highlight diagnostic avenues and provide an attractive way of learning. Set your own level of challenge and build your clinical understanding by delving into a cluster of cases covering related topics, or order your study with an emphasis on one of the five main themes: symptoms, signs, investigations, treatment and overall management. Lavish illustrations and the order of the cases will keep you interested by blending typical clinical case presentations with more narrative-style as well as imaging-based cases.
