Overview

Histopathology is the microscopic study of diseased tissue, used to establish or confirm a diagnosis by examining the architecture and cellular features of a specimen. Tissue obtained by biopsy, resection, or autopsy is fixed, processed, embedded, sectioned, and stained, classically with haematoxylin and eosin and supplemented by special stains, immunohistochemistry, and molecular assays, before a pathologist interprets cellular morphology, tissue organisation, and patterns of injury, inflammation, or neoplasia. It is central to oncology, where grading, margins, and immunophenotype guide management, and to the diagnosis of inflammatory, infectious, and degenerative disease; in a forensic context it also informs the identification of lesions, the ageing of injuries, and the determination of disease processes contributing to death. Accurate diagnosis often depends on correlating histological findings with clinical, radiological, and immunohistochemical data, particularly for tumours arising in unusual sites or mimicking other entities. Research published in this area by the journal applies histopathological evaluation across diverse cases, including malignant transformation of a neurofibroma, inverting papilloma of the lacrimal sac, lipomatous and other soft-tissue neoplasms, tumours presenting in exceptional locations, scrotal epidermoid cyst, and clinicopathological studies in animal disease. These contributions illustrate the role of tissue diagnosis in surgical pathology, case characterisation, and the resolution of diagnostic dilemmas.
