Pediatric Pathology

Pediatric pathology is a specialized branch of pathology focusing on the diagnosis and study of diseases in infants, children, and adolescents. It involves examining tissue samples, biopsies, and autopsies to identify congenital disorders, developmental abnormalities, and childhood cancers. Pediatric pathologists collaborate closely with pediatricians and surgeons to provide accurate diagnoses essential for effective treatment plans. This field plays a critical role in understanding rare pediatric diseases, genetic conditions, and infectious processes affecting young patients. Advanced diagnostic techniques like molecular pathology and immunohistochemistry are commonly utilized to improve patient outcomes and support research in pediatric healthcare.
