Anatomical Pathology
GENERAL INFORMATION
Anatomical pathology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study of the morphologic aspects of disease. Anatomical pathologists specialize in examining tissues removed by needle aspiration, surgical procedures or autopsy. They are responsible for diagnosing diseased tissue and investigating the mechanisms and development of disease. This may include the structural and physical changes that occur.
Anatomical pathology includes subspecialties that deal specifically with organ systems. These include: gyneProfilecological pathology; dermatopathology; gastrointestinal pathology; cardiovascular pathology; respiratory pathology; musculoskeletal pathology; renal pathology, genito-urinary pathology; endocrine pathology; ophthalmic pathology; E.N.T. pathology; and neuropathology. It also involves specific laboratory methods such as cytopathology, immunopathology and electron microscopy, or certain types of clinical cases including pediatric pathology and forensic pathology.
