Pathology Case Study: An Adrenal Mass
This endocrine pathology case study, provided by the University of Pittsburgh Department of Pathology, is an excellent resource for students and instructors in the health science fields. A 71-year-old female experiencing "fainting spells" is the focus of this case. The patient's history, gross description, and microscopic description of test results are provided to aid readers in understanding the patient's diagnosis. The official final diagnosis is accompanied by a discussion of the contributing doctor's findings and a list of references. This is an excellent resource for students in the health sciences to familiarize themselves with using patient history and laboratory results to diagnose patient's conditions. It is also a helpful site for educators to use to introduce or test student knowledge of endocrine pathology.

Excellent resource for pathology case studies tied to a collection of education from the University of Pittsburgh. Recommend consideration of adding objectives, enhancing learner engagement through video or questions, and measurement or scoring of knowledge for learner/instructor use. Rating 4.75
