Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre ensuring advanced Pathology & diagnostic services and offering and conducting your Histopathology-4 (Small) examination. Histopathology involves the microscopic examination of tissue samples to identify abnormal changes, inflammation, infections, and suspected tumours.
About Histopathology-4 (Small)
A small piece of tissue (biopsy) or a small operation is removed and sent to the laboratory. The sample is analyzed, cut, dyed, and looked at again with a microscope by a pathologist. Assist in establishing the structure of tissue and its characteristics of cells to aid in the detection of abnormal cells or conditions. It can help with the diagnosis of the condition and help the doctor decide which investigations are needed and what effective treatment should be provided.
What is Histopathology-4 (Small)?
The study of microscopic alterations, which are the hallmark of disease, in the tissues. Tissue samples taken by the doctor are preserved, prepared, embedded, sectioned, and stained in the laboratory before being examined under the microscope. A pathologist analyzes the cells' structure and characteristics. Additional sections, special stains, and/or additional investigations may be recommended based on clinical findings and specimen.
Common Reasons for Histopathology-4 (Small)
Evaluation Of A Small Biopsy: Using the microscope to look at the abnormal tissue that was removed in a small sample.
Localized lesions: Examination of tissue taken from a lump or growth and/or any abnormal area in the body.
Suspect Tissues: Examination of tissues to see if a tumour is benign or malignant.
Inflammatory Conditions: Identification of signs of inflammation (acute and chronic).
Abnormal Clinical Findings: Any tissue abnormality found during the clinical exam or other exam procedures and additional work-up involved.
Repeat Sampling: Follow-up Evaluation: Evaluation of the selected tissue abnormalities, if repeat sampling is clinically appropriate.
Conditions Evaluated
Benign and Malignant Tissue Changes
Histopathology is used to help evaluate abnormal tissues, and it helps to identify abnormal features that may be indicative of a benign lesion, malignancy, or any other pathological process. There is some variability of interpretation from specimen to specimen and from clinical situation to situation.
Inflammatory Disorders
Inflammatory conditions throughout the tissues may be revealed by acute or chronic inflammation, which can be appreciated in microscopic examination.
Infectious and Granulomatous Conditions
Some infections, including chronic infections, may produce characteristic tissue changes. While these patterns may be visible by histopathology, additional testing may be needed to figure out the cause of the problem.
Skin and Soft-Tissue Lesions
Small tissue samples from skin and soft-tissue abnormalities can be examined for changes involving cells, connective tissue, and overall tissue structure.
Tissue Degeneration and Structural Abnormalities
Histopathological examination can identify changes in tissue architecture, cellular characteristics, and degenerative changes associated with various diseases.

Test information: Fasting NOT required.
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
Fasting is not required for this examination.
Follow the treating doctor's instructions regarding tissue sampling and specimen submission.
If a biopsy or minor surgical procedure is planned, inform the doctor about any blood-thinning medicines, bleeding disorders, allergies, or previous reactions to anaesthesia.
Do not stop any prescribed medication unless advised by the treating doctor.
Carry the doctor's prescription, clinical notes, previous biopsy or histopathology reports, and relevant medical records.
Ensure that the tissue specimen is properly labelled and preserved according to the laboratory's instructions.
If the specimen has already been collected, submit it in the appropriate container and follow the laboratory's instructions for handling and transportation.
इस जाँच के लिए खाली पेट रहने की आवश्यकता नहीं है।
ऊतक का नमूना लेने और उसे प्रयोगशाला में जमा करने के संबंध में डॉक्टर के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
यदि बायोप्सी या छोटी सर्जरी की योजना है, तो डॉक्टर को खून पतला करने वाली दवाओं, खून बहने से जुड़ी समस्याओं, एलर्जी या बेहोशी की दवा से पहले हुई किसी प्रतिक्रिया के बारे में बताएं।
डॉक्टर की सलाह के बिना अपनी निर्धारित दवाएँ बंद न करें।
डॉक्टर की पर्ची, बीमारी से संबंधित जानकारी, पिछली बायोप्सी या हिस्टोपैथोलॉजी रिपोर्ट और अन्य जरूरी मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लाएं।
ऊतक के नमूने पर सही लेबल लगा होना चाहिए और उसे प्रयोगशाला के निर्देशों के अनुसार सुरक्षित रखा जाना चाहिए।
यदि नमूना पहले ही लिया जा चुका है, तो उसे उचित कंटेनर में जमा करें और उसके रखरखाव तथा प्रयोगशाला तक पहुँचाने के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
A small tissue specimen is collected through a biopsy or minor surgical procedure by the treating doctor.
The collected specimen is placed in an appropriate preservative and sent to the laboratory with the necessary patient details and clinical information.
On receipt, the laboratory checks the specimen identification, labelling, and accompanying documentation.
The tissue is processed, embedded in paraffin or another suitable medium, and cut into thin sections.
These sections are placed on glass slides and stained to make the tissue structures and cellular details visible under a microscope.
A pathologist examines the prepared slides to assess tissue architecture, cellular characteristics, and any abnormal changes.
Additional sections, special stains, or further investigations may be performed if indicated by the specimen findings and clinical information.
The findings are evaluated, and a histopathology report is prepared for the treating doctor.
