- 1. Anatomical pathology, also known as anatomical pathology, surgical pathology, or histopathology, is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis of disease through the microscopic examination of tissues and cells. Anatomical pathologists analyze tissue specimens obtained from surgical procedures, biopsies, and autopsies to determine the presence, extent, and nature of disease. They play a crucial role in guiding patient care by providing accurate and detailed diagnoses that inform treatment decisions and prognoses. Through their expertise in interpreting cellular and tissue morphology, anatomical pathologists contribute to the understanding of disease processes and the development of new treatments and therapies.
