In this paper, a unique, nationwide autopsy registration system used in Japan is introduced, which has been used by the Japanese Pathological Society since 1958. The autopsy data collected are published annually in an Annual of Pathological Autopsy Cases in Japan, known in Japanese as the Bouken Shuho. In the most recent volume, about 40,000 cases (representing about 5% of all deaths in Japan) were presented. These annual volumes comprise two parts: a description of findings and a statistical section. The latter is composed mainly of tables, including tabulations of disease, age and sex; disease and geographical location; primary site and histological type of cancer; and primary site/primary site for double primary malignant neoplasms. Since 1974, tabulation has been computerized, and this same file is also used to retrieve descriptive data in the book. Since 1984, the findings section of the Bouken Shuho has been published using a desk-top system. A project to incorporate the original documents stored in this system, in order to establish a more sophisticated, fully computerized document retrieval system, is under way.
本文介绍了日本使用的一个独特的全国性尸检登记系统，自1958年以来一直被日本病理学会使用。收集到的尸检数据每年发表在《日本病理尸检病例年报》上，日文名为《剖検报告》。在最新一卷中，呈现了约40000例病例（约占日本所有死亡人数的5%）。这些年报包括两部分：检查结果描述和统计部分。后者主要由表格组成，包括疾病、年龄和性别的列表；疾病和地理位置；癌症的原发部位和组织学类型；以及双原发恶性肿瘤的原发部位/原发部位。自1974年以来，列表已实现计算机化，同一文件也用于检索该书中的描述性数据。自1984年以来，《剖検报告》的检查结果部分一直使用桌面系统出版。一个将存储在该系统中的原始文件纳入其中以建立更复杂、完全计算机化的文件检索系统的项目正在进行中。
