The chair of Pathological Anatomy was created in 1887, and Dr. Telémaco Susini was appointed full professor. It was he who organized a space for the museum that contains anatomic pieces proceeding from the autopsies performed at the Clinical Hospital.
Since 1992, this internationally renowned museum has incorporated human pathological anatomic pieces preserves in formol, 2,000 of which are on exhibition whilst a similar amount is in the deposit, distributed on two floors and systematically classified by apparatus and by large pathological processes. Exhibits include virtually all existing pathologies, following their natural evolution, and include extinct or exotic pathologies (smallpox, yellow fever etc.).
There are also exhibits of spontaneous and experimental animal pathological anatomic pieces. The museum also houses a historical library equipped with books on Pathology and general medicine, including collections pertaining to the different subjects.
