Abstract
Pediatric forensic pathology is an emerging medical subspecialty that spans the area between pediatric and forensic pathology. Advances in both of these fields have increased the sophistication of diagnoses, with overlap of disorders that might present to either the pediatric or forensic pathologist, adding further layers of complexity. Not surprisingly, therefore, there are important ethical and medical controversies in pediatric forensic pathology that merit careful consideration and attention. Copyright © 2005 Humana Press Inc.
