ABSTRACT
The present article reviews the most relevant aspects of the practice of Anatomic Pathology in Chile. The importance of biopsy and autopsy are analysed, in particular the consequences of the fall in the number of autopsies performed in our hospitals, in the recent decades.

The ways to solve these problems in a discipline that is still a fundamental specialty in modern medicine are analyzed
