Histopathology first asks: what is histopathology? It then looks at fixation and specimen handling. Topics covered include data recording and histopathology dissection, routine staining, special stains, artefacts, and Mohs procedures. The text moves on to examine immunocytochemical techniques and analytical immunocytochemistry. Next, there is a chapter on
in situ
hybridization. This is followed by a couple of chapters on molecular diagnostics. Histopathology reporting is dealt with after that. Finally, the text discusses microscopy and digital pathology, electron microscopy in diagnosis, mortuary practice, and the essentials of laboratory management.
