MacSween's Pathology of the Liver

MacSween's Pathology of the Liver, 8th Edition, presents a comprehensive reference volume for surgical pathologists in practice and surgical pathologists in training who require structured diagnostic guidance. The opening chapters establish essential concepts regarding normal liver structure, baseline organ function, cellular responses to injury, and contemporary cellular and molecular techniques applied during routine and specialized diagnostic evaluations.

The text organizes complex hepatic conditions into distinct categories to assist pathologists with systematic specimen analysis. Readers encounter detailed coverage of developmental and inherited liver disease, disorders of iron overload, fatty liver disease, and autoimmune hepatitis. Subsequent chapters analyze structural alterations in bile duct diseases, diseases of the gallbladder, hepatic vascular disorders, post-surgical transplantation pathology, and tissue changes that manifest in the liver in systemic disease.

Selected for inclusion in the 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Pathology, this reference supports subspecialty pathology training and routine diagnostic practice across academic centers and clinical diagnostic laboratories.
