Abstract
Abstract Gross photography is used both as a teaching tool for future health care workers and as a tool in a pathologist's diagnostic arsenal. Whereas gross descriptions can often be subjective and nonstandardized (and sometimes too convoluted in complex cases), photographs can play a final role in documentation. Where words might kindle an abstract imagination of a disease process, a photograph can capture both attention and understanding. There are 4 critical principles of good gross photography: (1) background surface, (2) photograph composition, (3) lighting, and (4) extra photography tools. As gross photography plays a pivotal role in both diagnosis and teaching, it is imperative to give pathologists, pathologists in training, and pathology assistants the skills and tools to execute the perfect gross photograph.
