Specialist microscopic examination of biopsies and surgical specimens to identify disease, characterise abnormal tissue changes and provide clinically meaningful diagnostic information for referring clinicians.
Microlab provides surgical histopathology services for the microscopic examination of biopsies and surgical specimens. This process helps identify disease, assess abnormal tissue changes and provide clinicians with clear, meaningful diagnostic information to guide patient management.
Microlab examines tissue specimens from a wide range of anatomical sites, supporting both routine and more complex diagnostic cases through careful pathological assessment.
Assessment of tissue specimens from the skin, breast and head and neck region to identify benign, inflammatory and malignant conditions.
Histopathological examination of gastrointestinal, liver, pancreatic and related specimens to support accurate tissue diagnosis.
Evaluation of gynaecological, urological, renal, bone, soft tissue, ophthalmic and selected neurosurgical specimens.
Surgical histopathology involves the microscopic examination of biopsies and surgical specimens to identify disease, assess abnormal tissue changes and support accurate clinical diagnosis.
At Microlab, this service plays a vital role in helping referring clinicians better understand the nature of a lesion or condition, whether the findings are inflammatory, benign, pre-malignant or malignant. Each specimen is carefully processed and examined to provide clear, meaningful diagnostic information.
Our histopathology service covers a broad range of specimen types and anatomical sites, supporting both routine and complex cases. Tissue specimens may include those from the skin, breast, head and neck, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal system, hepatopancreaticobiliary system, gynaecological and urological regions, as well as renal, ophthalmic, bone, soft tissue and selected neurosurgical specimens.
Where appropriate, additional techniques such as immunohistochemistry may be used to provide further diagnostic clarification and help clinicians make informed management decisions.
