Get Histopathology-2 (Large) Tests from Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre and Leading Pathology & diagnostic centre. The microscopic analysis of tissue samples in a laboratory to help the doctor determine and evaluate abnormal tissue, inflammation, infections, or suspected cancer (tumours) is called histopathology.
What is Histopathology-2 (Large)?
Histopathology: Examination of disease or abnormal tissue with a microscope. The doctor removes a sample of tissue, and it is sent to a specialist in pathology for processing and examination. When the sample is large, the laboratory may take several representative samples to determine the type and extent of abnormality. Other sections or special staining may be suggested, and other tests as indicated by the clinical need.
Common Reasons for Histopathology-2 (Large)
Biopsy Evaluation: Microscopic examination of a larger tissue sample taken to check for abnormal tissue.
Surgical tissue, examination of: Examination of tissue removed during a surgery.
Suspected Tumours or Growths: Evaluation of tissue alterations to see if it is benign or malignant.
Assessment of inflammatory or chronic disease changes in tissues: Inflammatory Conditions.
Infectious Conditions: Signs of changes in tissue that could be a sign of infection and/or extra tests if necessary.
Additional Studies of Abnormal Imaging Findings: Additional tests of tissue abnormalities detected through imaging tests.
Evaluation of the margins or other features of the tissue relevant to the evaluation of the extent of the disease (if applied to the specimen).
Conditions Evaluated
Benign and Malignant Lesions
Histopathology involves examining abnormal tissues and determining whether a lesion has a benign, malignant, or other abnormal characteristic. The interpretation is dependent on the specimen and clinical situation.
Inflammatory Disorders
Microscopic examination of the patterns of acute/chronic inflammation can help to assess different organs/tissues.
Infectious and Granulomatous Conditions
Infections can cause identifiable changes in tissues in some instances. Other microbiological or special investigations may be required to determine the cause; histopathology may help to identify these patterns.
Tissue Degeneration and Structural Changes
The examination can assess architecture, appearance, and degeneration of the cells that might correlate with several medical diseases.
Tumour Characteristics
If a tumour is detected, then further examination by histopathology can be performed to ascertain the nature of the tumour and any relevant microscopic characteristics. Further classification may be required using further testing.
Surgical Specimen Assessment
Where a tissue has been removed, it can be examined to find out what kind of abnormality was present and may also provide additional information, for example, if the margins of surgery were clear of abnormality (this is only evidence if the tissue has been removed).

If your doctor has recommended Histopathology-2 (Large), please call Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy for details of when to attend and how to submit your specimen. Take the doctor's prescription, clinical notes, old biopsy/histology reports, and any other medical records. Specimens should be submitted to the laboratory as per instructions for proper processing and evaluation.
Test information: Fasting NOT needed
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
No fasting is required before this test.
Follow your doctor's instructions regarding tissue sample collection or surgical specimen submission.
Ensure that the tissue specimen is collected, preserved, and transported in an appropriate container according to the laboratory's instructions.
Inform the doctor about any medicines you are taking, particularly blood thinners, allergies, or bleeding disorders if a biopsy or surgical procedure is planned.
Carry your prescription, clinical notes, previous biopsy or histopathology reports, relevant imaging reports, and other medical records.
If the specimen has already been collected, ensure that it is properly labelled and submitted to the laboratory as instructed.
Do not attempt to collect, preserve, or transfer the tissue specimen yourself unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.
इस जांच से पहले उपवास करने की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है।
ऊतक का नमूना लेने या सर्जरी के बाद प्राप्त नमूना जमा करने के संबंध में डॉक्टर के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
सुनिश्चित करें कि ऊतक का नमूना प्रयोगशाला के निर्देशों के अनुसार उचित पात्र में सुरक्षित रखा और पहुंचाया गया हो।
यदि बायोप्सी या सर्जरी की जानी है, तो अपनी चल रही दवाओं, विशेष रूप से खून पतला करने वाली दवाओं, एलर्जी या खून जमने से जुड़ी समस्या के बारे में डॉक्टर को बताएं।
डॉक्टर की पर्ची, बीमारी से संबंधित जानकारी, पिछली बायोप्सी या हिस्टोपैथोलॉजी रिपोर्ट, इमेजिंग रिपोर्ट और अन्य मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं।
यदि नमूना पहले ही लिया जा चुका है, तो उसे सही लेबल के साथ प्रयोगशाला के निर्देशों के अनुसार जमा करें।
स्वास्थ्यकर्मी की विशेष सलाह के बिना ऊतक का नमूना स्वयं एकत्र, सुरक्षित या दूसरे पात्र में स्थानांतरित न करें।
The laboratory receives the larger or more complex tissue specimen along with the relevant clinical details and medical records.
The specimen is checked for proper identification, labelling, and suitability for histopathological examination.
The tissue is preserved using an appropriate fixative to maintain its structure and cellular details.
The pathologist examines the specimen and selects representative tissue sections for further processing, depending on its size and characteristics.
The selected tissue samples undergo laboratory processing and are embedded in a suitable medium.
Thin sections are prepared from the processed tissue and placed on glass slides.
The slides are stained using appropriate techniques to make the tissue architecture and cellular details visible under a microscope.
A qualified pathologist examines the slides to assess tissue structure, cellular characteristics, and any abnormal changes. Additional sections or special stains may be used when clinically indicated.
The findings are documented in a histopathology report to support the treating doctor's diagnosis and further management.
