Rosai and Ackerman's Surgical Pathology

Rating:
Summary: TIMELESS AND OUTSTANDING
Review: A benchmark bench reference book for established and trainee pathologists: an histopathology trainee's bible. It is timeless and outstanding. Editors are bang up-to-date and move with the times. See something new down your microscope and can't put your finger on it? It is in Rosai's book. CDRom enclosed.

Summary: The resident's best friend
Review: I read the previous edition and the current one... I found that it is a change from the better to the best. Rosai's surgical pathology is the only dependable text and the easiest to read and review book for the pathology residents. It is not comparabale to the other surgical pathology books because ..simply..it is the best. I realy advise it to the pathology residents and consultants.

Summary: Rosai or Sternberg? Pick Rosai.
Review: Unless you plan on purchasing both Rosai and Sternberg, most people at some point decide which one to buy. Since both are roughly the same price and the same length with the same amount of illustrations, it can be difficult to decide. Here is my take. If you're a resident, you'll probably prefer Sternberg because it is easier to read and has better charts and review tables. If you're an older resident or pathologist, Rosai is more comprehensive and thorough, although more laborious to read. Either way, you can't really go wrong as long as it doesn't just collect dust on the shelf. This book truly is excellent and you will not be disappointed if you choose Rosai.
