The histopathology department is run by highly skilled, experienced and highly experienced consultants who are histopathologists. The lab for histopathology is run by experienced medical technologists working under the supervision by our Histopathologists as consultants and lab supervisors to assure high-quality, accuracy and speedy reports on histopathology.

Facilities and Services at Histopathology Laboratory

Surgery Pathology : Surgical specimens like mucosal endoscopic biopsies, CT scans and ultrasound-guided liver, renal, splenic, and other soft tissue needle biopsies skin biopsies, endometrial curettings, and incisional as well as excisional biopsies of tumors. are sourced from all across Pakistan. We also take care of large surgical specimens, such as the colectomy, mastectomy, hysterectomy or prostatectomy, thyroidectomy, Amputation specimens, for instance. After collecting representative sections in a fully-equipped grossing room and further processing, the specimens are done in a state-of-the modern histopathology laboratory equipped with the most modern automatic tissue processing equipment, strainers microtomes and more. by our highly skilled and highly qualified technologists. The cases are swiftly and accurately reported by our Histopathologists. Intradepartmental consultations are regularly scheduled for all malignant tumors and other critical conditions to warrant high-quality reporting adequate to international guidelines.

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC): FNAC is a highly informative minimally invasive diagnostic process that has 95-98 percent sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing benign and malignant tumors, as also infective and inflammation-related conditions. FNAC for lymph nodes that are enlarged lymph nodes, thyroid swellings, breast lumps as well as other lumps or swellings in the soft tissues of the body is performed by highly trained cytopathologists. Female patients are able to have this procedure carried out by female specialists. FNAC is performed under aseptic conditions in a fully-equipped procedure room. The test is then checked for accuracy to prevent repeated sessions. Final report is based using a standard protocol within 72-48 hours.

In addition to regular FNAC an ultrasound-guided FNA will also be available at Wania Hospital.

Cytopathology : All gynecological as well as non-gynecological cytology, such as cervical Smears, vault smears the pleural fluid, ascitic liquid and sputum samples, CSF cytology in urine and synovial fluid cytology. is done at the Wania Hospital. The use of special stains is it is necessary to confirm diagnosis.

Special tests : Tests specifically designed to detect fungal infections and the confirmation of tuberculosis can be found at Wania Hospital. Special arrangements are also made for the tumorous and lymphoproliferative conditions requiring immuno-histochemistry/molecular testing for their categorization and phenotyping.

Immunohistochemisty:

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the single most significant component of the Histopathology department. It is the process of specific identification of antigens in tissues by utilizing the concept of antibodies binding specifically to antigens present in the tissues . More than 60 IHC antibodies are accessible using the most advanced automated analyzer.
