About the Book
This comprehensive handbook is a concise, ready-to-use compilation of high-yield topics designed specifically for postgraduate students in pathology. Derived from the renowned SPARRC Programme (Sri Ramachandra Pathology Annual Rapid Review Course)—now in its eleventh successful year—the book distills essential concepts, diagnostic criteria, and key pathological features across organ systems.

The content is carefully curated to reflect practical, exam-oriented learning, making it an invaluable companion for revision and rapid review. It covers major areas such as:

• Histopathology: Key diagnostic features of major lesions across all systems.

• Practical Pathology: Fundamental topics including autopsy methodology, special stains, and immunohistochemistry.

• Hematology, Cytology & Transfusion Medicine: Summarized with precision to aid quick recall.

The sixth edition incorporates several significant updates aligned with the latest NMC examination guidelines, which are clearly detailed for student clarity. Responding to academic demand, three new chapters have been added:

• Artificial Intelligence and Digital Pathology

• Overview of Transplant Pathology

• Biopsy Interpretation with IHC Markers

Additionally, advanced updates in molecular diagnostics, flow cytometry, and FISH ensure the book reflects current practice standards. Popular chapters such as FAQs in Histotechniques, Current Updates in Pathology, and Potpourri of Gross Cases and Approach to Gross Differential Diagnosis have been further expanded for broader coverage.

A ready-reckoner of updated WHO tumor classifications enhances the book’s utility as a reference tool, making it highly valuable not only for students but also for young faculty seeking to refresh and reinforce their knowledge.

This handbook is an indispensable quick-reference guide for anyone preparing for pathology examinations or looking to strengthen their understanding of modern diagnostic pathology.
