Pathology books are numerous. Some are good... many are crap. This article reviews some of 'em.
Robbins and Cotran pathologic basis of disease
This the standard reference for pathology residents. It covers the bread & butter.
Pros
- It is the standard work... everyone refers to it. You can't go wrong quoting Robbins.
Cons
- Very wordy. Not particularly practical --when you're sitting in from of the microscope.
- It is US-centric.
Reference

Practice of Surgical Pathology
Probably the best book for beginners. It covers basic things many others ignore, but are essential.
Reference

Diagnostic Criteria Handbook in Histopathology
A relatively short, point-form book that covers most of pathology.
Pros
It covers most things.
Cons
- The abbreviations are annoying.
Reference
Tadrous, Paul.J. Diagnostic Criteria Handbook in Histopathology: A Surgical Pathology Vade Mecum (1st ed.). Wiley. ISBN 978-0470519035.
Manual of Surgical Pathology (Lester)
A reference for grossing. It covers pretty much everything. The first edition had great tables summarizing IHC.
Reference
Lester, Susan Carole (2005). Manual of Surgical Pathology (2nd ed.). Saunders. ISBN 978-0443066450.
Washington Manual of Surgical Pathology
This is one of my favourite books and not very expensive. It is to the point. Missing are nice images.
Reference
Humphrey, Peter A; Dehner, Louis P; Pfeifer, John D (2008). The Washington Manual of Surgical Pathology (1st ed.). Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. ISBN 978-0781765275.
Handbook of Forensic Pathology
The best short reference book about forensic pathology.
Pros
- Point form.
- Short.
References
