Pathology

Pathology tests are tests to look at samples of the body's tissues under a microscope. The tests help your doctor find or check on a condition. The tissue may come from a biopsy test, where a small piece of tissue is removed. Or it may come from removing an abnormal area (like a mole). It may even come from a whole organ. Blood, body fluids, and cells (like a Pap smear) may also be tested.
