Histopathology Test


Histopathology is the microscopic study of human tissue for the purposes of studying the manifestations of disease. At The Specialist Laboratories, surgically excised specimen is examined by a histopathologist after the specimen has been processed and histological sections have been placed into glass slides.

All surgically excised tissue MUST be submitted for analysis. After excision, the specimen should be preserved immediately in neutral buffered formalin, bouin’s solution or glutaraldehyde depending on the type of tissue and/or the examination requested.

Test results are available online and in-print within 5 working days from the day of specimen receipt.
