    Letter from the Editor

    The section Pathology for Clinicians does not intend to be a comprehensive review about surgical and clinical pathology. Its main goal is to provide short and concise information about important or interesting themes in pathology that can be useful for the general practice clinician.

    The first subsection, called Month’s Article, has the objective to discuss new entities or important subjects in pathology.

    Rare Tumors discusses briefly curious pathologic processes and is dedicated to medical students or physicians who love medicine and want to be “above the mean”. This section was created under the following thought: " if you don’t consider a rare disease, you will never diagnose it".

    The last subsection, Updating your Knowledge, tells you what you want to know in a fast way. I created this section based on my own methodology of study and I hope it will be useful for medical students and residents.

    Pathology for Clinicians is an “open section” and suggestions or critics are always welcome. Therefore, do not hesitate to send me an e-mail with your commentaries and ideas.
