Three moments in Anatomical pathology: The foundation as an area of medical knowledge, marked by the publication of “De Sedibus et Causis Morborum per Anatomen Indagatis” by Morgagni in 1761. The second moment is represented by the conception of Cellular Pathology and the publication of Virchow's lectures in 1858. Computational Pathology represents a possible future in pathology. The two previous moments produced, and the third, in perspective, should produce important changes in the pathologist's environment, routine activities (macroscopic examination, microscopy and computational analysis), and object of study
