'''[[Histopathology]]''' is a branch of histology and pathology that studies and diagnoses diseases on the tissue and cellular level. While histopathology is closely related to [[cytopathology]], the main difference is diagnostic information gained from histopathology is acquired from solid tissue samples, whereas specific disaggregated cell preparations are used in cytopathology. Typically a biopsy or surgical specimen is examined by a pathologist after the specimen has been processed and histological sections have been placed onto glass slides. Testing typically incorporates several stages, from collection and preparation using numerous methods (depending on the sample and test type) down to examination.
