Baldwin basement and later Stabile 9. To Drs. Collins and Sinard and many
colleagues on the CAP Autopsy Resource Committee for opening my eyes to a
wider world of pathology practice. To the many able minds who helped conceive,
gestate, and deliver the book’s content and whose names dignify its pages. To
Dave, Angie, and Kellie at Amirsys/Elsevier for their patience and trust. And most
of all to Tonya, for her undying tolerance and support.

This book is dedicated with gratitude to my mentors, who gave me the courage
and opportunity to pursue autopsy pathology, and to my mentorees, who make
the work so rewarding. This project would not have been possible without
the forward vision of the Amirsys/Elsevier team, especially Angela Terry, who
supported this unique addition to their pathology collection, and the tremendous
expertise shared by Dylan Miller and all of the authors. As always, I must thank
my sons, Justin and Alexander, who make everything worthwhile, and my
parents, who encouraged me from the beginning.

Engaging young pathologists in autopsy is vital to preserving what is arguably the bedrock of all
pathology knowledge. This volume aims to present the hospital autopsy as it is really practiced
— with real case presentations, approaches to dissection, chart review focusing, and reporting
