Histopathology
(biopsy)

Histopathology biopsy is a diagnostic procedure that involves the microscopic examination of tissue samples obtained from a patient’s body. It is commonly performed to evaluate abnormalities or diseases in various organs or tissues.

During a histopathology biopsy, a small piece of tissue, called a biopsy specimen, is surgically removed from the affected area. This can be done through various methods, such as a surgical biopsy, needle biopsy, or endoscopic biopsy, depending on the location and nature of the tissue being sampled.

Once the tissue sample is obtained, it undergoes a series of processing steps to prepare it for microscopic examination. The tissue is fixed in a solution to preserve its structure, dehydrated, embedded in wax, and then thinly sliced into sections. These sections are mounted onto glass slides and stained using specific dyes to highlight different cellular components and structures.

The study of liver histology, spleen histology, testis histology, pancreas histology, osteosarcom histology, cornea histology, cerebral histology, lipoma histology, colon histology, and heart histology provides valuable insights into the microscopic structure and composition of these organs and tissues.

A pathologist examines the stained tissue sections under a microscope, observing the cellular architecture, cell types, and any abnormal features. This analysis helps in making a diagnosis, determining the nature of the disease or condition, and providing information about its severity, extent, or progression.

Histopathology biopsy is crucial in diagnosing various conditions, including cancers, inflammatory diseases, infections, and autoimmune disorders. It provides valuable information that guides treatment decisions, prognosis, and ongoing management of the patient.

The histopathology report generated by the pathologist includes a detailed description of the tissue characteristics, any abnormal findings, and the final diagnosis. It is an essential tool for healthcare providers in developing an appropriate treatment plan and providing personalized care to patients.
