Histopathology specimens refer to samples of tissue or other biological material that are collected for microscopic examination to diagnose diseases and study their underlying causes. These specimens can be obtained through a variety of methods, including biopsies, surgical resections, fine needle aspiration, and autopsy. Histopathology specimens are typically processed, stained, and examined under a microscope by a pathologist or other trained laboratory personnel to identify any abnormalities or changes in the tissue, such as inflammation, infection, or cancer. The findings from histopathology specimens can provide important diagnostic and prognostic information that can guide patient treatment and management.
