Title: Pathology Case Study: Retroperitoneal Masses
Url: https://path.upmc.edu/cases/case76.html
Creator: Dorvault, Christine
Fernandes, Shaila
Yousem, Sam
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh. Dept. of Pathology
Description: This site contains two case studies presented by the University of Pittsburgh Department of Pathology: one in which a man was experiencing increased pain in his left flank over the course of three weeks, and the second one in which a women experiencing persistent right lower quadrant pain shows a retroperitoneal lesion on CT scan. Visitors are given both the microscopic and gross descriptions, including images, and are given the opportunity to diagnose the patients. This is an excellent resource for students in the health sciences to familiarize themselves with using patient history and laboratory results to diagnose disease. It is also a helpful site for educators to use to introduce or test student learning in soft tissue pathology.
