Histopathology-6 (Small) examination is available at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, a NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostics Centre. Histopathology means comparing tissue samples under a microscope to see changes in the structure and cells of the tissues. It assists with examining inflammation, infections, abnormal growth, and suspect tumours.
About Histopathology-6 (Small)
Histopathology-6 (Small) involves the microscopic examination of a small tissue sample. In the laboratory, the sample is processed, thinly sliced and stained and then looked at in a microscope by a pathologist. This investigation aids in detecting abnormalities in the structure or characteristics of tissue. The results can aid in diagnosing and guiding the next steps for the treating physician.
Common Reasons for Histopathology-6 (Small)
There are several reasons behind having a histopathology-6 (small) and these are listed below:
Localized Lesions: Localised examination of a lump, growth, or other tissue abnormality.
Tissue sample analysis that is used to find out if a growth is benign or malignant.
Inflammatory Conditions: Recognition of the changes in tissues that occur in acute or chronic inflammation.
Small tissue samples: Test of small pieces of skin or other tissue.
Abnormal Clinical Findings: Examination of body changes, found through examination or other tests, that are not normal.
Follow-up Evaluation: An evaluation of tissue abnormalities when recommended based on the clinical condition.
Conditions Evaluated
Benign and Malignant Tissue Changes
Histopathological examination is useful in differentiating benign tissue changes from malignant changes. It also enables other abnormalities to be identified depending upon the nature of the specimen and the clinical data available.
Inflammatory Disorders
Microscopic study may be useful to determine whether there is currently acute or chronic inflammation in the tissue and may be used to assess problems of various parts of the body.
Infectious and Granulomatous Conditions
Some infections will cause characteristic changes in tissue. Histopathology may assist in the identification of such patterns, but may need other tests to find the definitive cause.
Skin and Soft-Tissue Lesions
A removed sample of skin and soft tissue can be analysed to detect any changes to the cells and the structure of connective tissue and the tissues themselves.
Tissue Degeneration and Structural Abnormalities
The exam may show abnormalities in tissue architecture, in cell appearances, or in cell degeneration, which could indicate various illnesses.

Book Your Histopathology-6 (Small)
If you have been recommended to submit the samples for further testing, contact us at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy for further analysis. Please bring the doctor's prescription, clinical notes if available, previous biopsy/ histopathology reports, and other medical records if available. The tissue must be submitted following the instructions from the lab for proper processing and exam.
Test information: Fasting NOT needed
Reporting: As per the centre's reporting schedule.
Fasting is not required before the test.
The tissue sample must be collected by a qualified doctor or healthcare professional.
Submit the specimen in the appropriate container with the preservative recommended by the laboratory.
Ensure the specimen container is properly labelled with the patient's name and relevant identification details.
Bring the doctor's prescription, clinical notes, and previous biopsy or histopathology reports, if available.
Inform the doctor about any relevant medical history, previous diagnosis, or treatment related to the tissue being examined.
Do not open, transfer, or handle the specimen yourself after collection.
Follow the laboratory's instructions regarding specimen collection, storage, and transportation.
इस जाँच से पहले खाली पेट रहने की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है।
टिश्यू सैंपल किसी योग्य डॉक्टर या स्वास्थ्यकर्मी द्वारा ही लिया जाना चाहिए।
सैंपल को लैब द्वारा बताए गए उचित कंटेनर और प्रिजर्वेटिव में जमा करें।
सैंपल के कंटेनर पर मरीज का नाम और आवश्यक पहचान संबंधी जानकारी सही तरीके से लिखी होनी चाहिए।
डॉक्टर की पर्ची, क्लिनिकल नोट्स और पिछली बायोप्सी या हिस्टोपैथोलॉजी रिपोर्ट उपलब्ध हों, तो साथ लाएं।
जाँचे जाने वाले टिश्यू से संबंधित पुरानी बीमारी, निदान या उपचार की जानकारी डॉक्टर को दें।
सैंपल लेने के बाद कंटेनर को स्वयं न खोलें, न बदलें और न ही सैंपल को छुएं।
सैंपल लेने, सुरक्षित रखने और लैब तक पहुंचाने के लिए लैब के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
A small tissue sample is collected by a doctor through a biopsy or minor surgical procedure.
The specimen is placed in an appropriate preservative, usually formalin, according to laboratory requirements.
The sample is labelled and sent to the histopathology laboratory along with relevant clinical details.
The tissue undergoes fixation and processing to preserve its structure.
The processed tissue is embedded in paraffin wax, and thin sections are prepared.
The sections are stained, usually with Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), to make the tissue structures visible under a microscope.
A pathologist examines the slides to assess tissue architecture, cellular features, and any abnormal changes.
Additional sections, special stains, or other investigations may be requested if required.
The pathologist prepares a report based on the microscopic findings and available clinical information.
