Histopathology
This specialized branch of pathology deals with surgically removed parts of body and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology.
The parts of body which are removed from body after surgery, are sent for histopathological studies. These parts are made in to wax blocks and then very thin sections are done with the help of microtome. These sections are stained and mounted on glass slides. The sections thus taken are examined under microscope for abnormalities, unwanted growth and cancers.
