UCSF Surgical Pathology, under the direction of Dr. Bradley A. Stohr, is the largest clinical division in the Department of Pathology and consists of subspecialized surgical pathologists based at Mission Bay and Moffitt-Long Hospitals. Approximately 35K surgical specimens (excluding dermatopathology and cytopathology) are evaluated annually by a team of subspecialized pathologists with expertise in Breast pathology, GI/Hepatopancreaticobiliary pathology, Genitourinary pathology, Bone and Soft tissue pathology, Head and Neck Pathology, Thoracic pathology, Gynecologic pathology, Renal pathology, and Hematopathology.
