Anatomopathatology
Anatomopathatology or pathological anatomy, is the medical specialty that studies the morphology of the macroscopic and microscopic abnormalities in biological tissues and normal or pathological cells. During diagnosis, the anatomopathological examination concentrates on small fragments of tissue, called biopsies, obtained during an endoscopy or from punctures carried out using a needle. The importance of anatomopathology is in the detection of benign or malignant tumors, inflammations and other pathological conditions.
