This third edition of the atlas accompanying the Robbins
series of texts has been updated with the addition of over 400
new images that increase the depth and breadth for coverage
of subject areas in pathology, enhancing its usefulness to the
entire series. This atlas remains organized into chapters that
closely follow the section on Diseases of Organ Systems in the
ninth edition of the “big” Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis
of Disease. The atlas is designed to complement the Pathologic
Basis of Disease, Basic Pathology, and Robbins’ Pocket Companion
texts by providing even more examples of disease processes.
The atlas reflects the knowledge base of the Robbins series
primarily in a visual format, and because most students are
“visual learners” they will readily take advantage of this study
aid. The gross, microscopic, and radiologic images used for the
figures as presented in this atlas are designed to reinforce one
another, as well as those present in other works in the Robbins
series. In addition, there are examples of normal organs and
tissues for review and orientation.
Each figure is accompanied by a brief description that provides
the key points illustrated by the figure. For initial and
more complete study, the learner is directed to the Robbins texts.
The labels and descriptions provided for the figures will guide
the learner in a discovery process while perusing these figures.
Though concise, the figure descriptions cumulatively yield a
considerable volume of reading, but that reading is highly compartmentalized
to aid review and reflection. Correlations with
findings from clinical history, physical examination, and clinical
laboratory testing are included in many of the descriptions.
The atlas author pursues an integrative approach to medical
education, combining elements of basic science, clinical, and
behavioral subjects into learning materials that promote a flowering
of knowledge to benefit those in need of health care.
