In the 8 years since the publication of the first edition of Essentials of Anatomic Pathology, great strides have been made in our understanding of diseases and neoplastic processes. Many clinically important new histopathologic entities have been described or more fully defined in virtually every organ. Numerous clinically important diagnostic and prognostic markers have entered routine practice. Genetic testing for the early detection of cancers and the molecular classification of diseases has become increasingly important. This is an age of enlightenment in surgical pathology, and the authors of this new volume have captured this sense of excitement herein. This much praised and widely used reference manual on has been extensively revised and expanded to cover the entire field of anatomic pathology. The Third Edition features the incorporation of full-color images in the text with updates of new diagnostic and prognostic information. New classifications and numerous new entities and histologic variants are fully explored. Useful immunostaining biomarkers and emerging molecular targets and relevant molecular findings that have emerged from recent genomic studies are incorporated in each chapter. Written by internationally recognized authorities, the comprehensive, evidence-based practice information is presented in an outline format that is clear and easy to follow. Up-to-date and richly detailed, Essentials of Anatomic Pathology, Third Edition offers both the pathologist-in-training and the practicing pathologist a concise summary of all the critical information needed to recognize, understand and interpret anatomic pathology.

 Useful for the images and charts, February 05, 2014
By pathres

This text is useful for looking up additional images and charts for AP issues. However, Differential Diagnosis is clearly superior for surgical pathology quick reference. Essentials is an enormous book (it should probably be 2 volumes instead of 1) and is not portable by any stretch of the imagination. Since each chapter is written by a different author, there is a wide variation in the quality of the text. Some chapters have very helpful charts comparing diagnoses while others are poorly thrown together outlines. The only advantage this book has over Differential is the addition of forensic pathology and cytopathology review chapters. However, I still would recommend Differential over this book. If you can find a good deal and would like a giant AP book to keep at your desk, or just a book large enough to bludgeon intruders with, this would be an acceptable purchase.

 Great general reference book but not at all portable, April 25, 2013
By J Rene

Cheng's Essentials is a great book for residency/board prep. It gives you the pertinent information in outline format and has pretty good pictures. The 3rd edition is heavy (11 pounds +) though, and has glossy pages that aren't conducive to highlighting or writing in the margins. It is disappointing that there are so many typos in the book, too.

A good reference, with A MAJOR flaw, April 23, 2013
By Lucy Lee
|
|
The book is overall useful and the updated edition has color pictures that are generally good. Be warned that basically all of the endocrine chapter photos (about 90 photos in chapter 20) are incorrect (the photos DO NOT go with the captions and it is very difficult to determine what the pictures actually are). I contacted the publisher but they have no plans to update the chapter. This is a pretty egregious mistake for a $200 book; they could easily correct the chapter and allow purchasers access to a correct ebook.
