Applying pathology principles in clinical practice is crucial for accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decisions. This book is structured to support clinicians in interpreting pathology reports and understanding disease mechanisms. It emphasizes clinical correlations, relevant laboratory investigations, and the practical significance of histological findings. Organ-based chapters integrate gross and microscopic pathology with symptoms and imaging. Common diagnostic challenges, such as distinguishing benign from malignant lesions, are highlighted with decision-making aids. Summary boxes, case vignettes, and annotated slides are included to facilitate applied learning and improve patient care through better pathological insight.
