Abstract
The developmental pathologist has been and is involved in almost every aspect of fetal and neonatal medicine. The multiplication of complex laboratory techniques and the rapid growth of perinatology makes it impossible for any one man to master the whole field. The morphologist with a functional turn of mind may still, however, make a modest contribution to the growing pool of knowledge about fetal and neonatal pathobiology. He can reevaluate underestimated alterations, observe the changing incidence of known lesions, describe “new” —frequently iatrogenic—lesions, use new techniques in known conditions, and point to unusual and unsuspected morbid associations.
