Description:
This is a case study presented by the University of Pittsburgh Department of Pathology, which a "5-month old boy presented with a hard, non-tender swelling behind the left ear, first noticed when he was 2 months old." Visitors are given patient history, admission data, along with gross and microscopic descriptions, including images, and are given the opportunity to diagnose the patient. A "Final Diagnosis" section provides a discussion of the findings as well as references. 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 neuropathology.
