Food eponyms in Pathology

Abstract

Pathology is an interesting and often challenging field. In many instances, Pathologists often hunt for clues to arrive at the diagnosis, in dark with a single beam of light. To make this tedious task more acceptable and more convenient, pathological findings are usually compared with food entities commonly used in our day to day life. Here, we have compiled pathological findings compared with certain food entities.
