Histologic Diagnosis

Histologic diagnosis involves examining tissue samples under a microscope to identify abnormal or disease-related changes at the cellular level. After a biopsy or surgical removal, a pathologist studies the tissue’s structure, cell organization, and any irregularities to determine if disease, such as cancer or inflammation, is present. This detailed analysis helps doctors understand the nature and severity of a condition, guiding appropriate treatment. Essentially, it’s a microscopic “snapshot” of tissue health that provides precise information about what’s happening inside the body.
