Histopathology

Histopathology

The histopathology department of Hospital examines and submits diagnostic histopathology reports on surgical specimens of human tissues referred to it from the clinical departments of Hospital. The tissue undergoes a series of steps before it reaches the pathologist to be thoroughly examined microscopically to arrive at a particular diagnosis. To achieve this it is important that the tissue must be prepared in such a manner that it is sufficiently thick or thin to be examined microscopically and all the structures in a tissue may be differentiated.  

The reports normally contain a brief description of the gross and microscopic features observed in the specimen and a diagnosis based on the pathologic alterations expressed in the tissues, providing a window towards identifying the nature of the disease process afflicting the concerned patient and serving to guide its clinical management, as well as in prognostication of the disease.
