Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is an advanced Histopathology Lab (NABL & NABH) that will serve you with state-of-the-art facilities in terms of diagnostics and Pathology services. A tissue sample is analysed using a microscope to obtain information about cell or tissue changes that can help a doctor diagnose many diseases and abnormalities in histopathology.

About Histopathology – 2 (Small)

Histopathology – 2 (Small) is the name given to the microscopic examination of a small sample of tissue to diagnose a condition. The tissue can be removed from the sample by making a small cut in the skin and then taking a sample of the tissue, a process known as biopsy, or by some other way to remove tissue for examination, and then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The processing, preservation, sectioning, and staining of the tissue are carried out appropriately. The prepared glass slides are looked at by a pathologist (a physician who has received special training in the pathology of the disease being examined), and he evaluates the tissue architecture, the characteristics of the cells, and the presence of abnormal cells. Findings enable the doctor treating the person to diagnose and formulate a further management plan.

What Is Histopathology?

Histopathology is the examination of tissues that have a disease or abnormal condition under a microscope. An important diagnostic tool for examining tissue structure to detect changes seen during inflammation, infection, benign growths, and malignancy. Laboratory processing usually consists of fixation, processing of tissue, embedding, sectioning, and staining of the tissue specimen. The slides are then examined by a pathologist who reads the slides and provides a diagnosis.

Common Reasons for Histopathology – 2 (Small)

• Small tissue samples: To see if there are changes in a small area of tissue.
• Moles or abnormal growths on the skin: To evaluate certain areas of skin development, moles, or other irregular growths.
• Suggested for small lumps or nodules: To find out what type a lump or nodule is if it's been removed or biopsied.
• Suspected infections: To assess tissue changes which could be due to certain infections.
• Benign growths – check on non-cancerous lesions to make sure that the lesion is made up of the same kind of tissue as does a benign growth.
• Suspected malignancy: If someone is suspicious that the tumor may have malignancy, then an attempt to find abnormal tissue change is made.
• Post Procedure Evaluation: To allow studying specimens removed by selected minor surgical procedures.

Conditions Evaluated

Benign Tissue Lesions

Sometimes other local abnormalities, such as cysts or abnormal tissue growths (histopathology), may guide the diagnosis and determination of the type of problem.

Inflammatory Conditions

The microscopic examination of the tissue may reveal a pattern of acute inflammation or chronic inflammation, which can assist the doctor in his or her hunt for the cause.

Infective Conditions

If there are changes in tissue, this could be caused by bacterial and/or fungal infection, or by other infections. Additional stains/timings may be recommended as the clinical situation sees fit.

Precancerous Changes

Histopathological examination may identify abnormal changes in selected cells which may require further examination or treatment.

Malignant Conditions

The exam can help determine if the tissue changes are cancer and give information about the type and characteristics of a lesion.

Tissue Structural Abnormalities

The pathologist examines the pattern of cells and their organization within the tissue structure to identify any abnormalities that may be involved in the patient's symptoms.
