frequent questions
When is a histopathological examination necessary?
The doctor asks for this investigation if the analyzes up to that point do not clearly indicate the nature of a tumor, for example. A histopathological examination differentiates between a malignant and a benign skin formation. For a correct histopathological diagnosis, in many situations, it is absolutely necessary to correlate the microscopic appearance with the information in the patient's medical record. Thus, the collaboration of the pathologist with the clinician and the provision of correct and complete clinical information about the patient are of great importance in establishing the diagnosis.
Is the diagnosis accurate?
Histopathological examination can help the doctor to accurately determine the nature and stage of the disease, providing an accurate diagnosis.

The prognosis of the disease
Histopathological examination can provide information about how the disease will progress over time, which can be useful in developing a long-term treatment plan.
