Hematopathology is a specialized branch of pathology that focuses on the diagnosis and study of blood disorders and diseases affecting blood-forming tissues, such as the bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen. It involves examining blood, bone marrow aspirates, and biopsies to diagnose conditions like anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndromes, as well as blood clotting disorders. see more

The Histopathology of the Cardiovascular System (CVS) module on PathoLens explores the microscopic structure and disease-related changes of the heart and blood vessels. Through student-recorded videos, you'll gain insights into the histology of the myocardium, blood vessels, and heart valves, learning to identify key features such as hypertrophy, fibrosis, atherosclerosis, and valvular diseases.
Respiratory system
Respiratory system
Respiratory pathology is a subspecialty of pathology that focuses on the diagnosis and study of diseases affecting the lungs and airways. It involves the examination of tissue samples from the lungs, trachea, bronchi, and pleura to diagnose conditions such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, and tuberculosis.
Alimentary pathology is a branch of pathology that focuses on the study and diagnosis of diseases affecting the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and colon. It involves examining tissue samples from these organs to diagnose conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colorectal cancer, gastric ulcers, liver cirrhosis, and pancreatitis.
Urinary system
Urinary system
Urinary system pathology is a specialized field of pathology focused on the diagnosis and study of diseases affecting the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. It involves the examination of tissue samples and urine to diagnose conditions such as chronic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder cancer, and nephrolithiasis.
Urinary system pathology is a specialized field of pathology focused on the diagnosis and study of diseases affecting the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. It involves the examination of tissue samples and urine to diagnose conditions such as chronic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder cancer, and nephrolithiasis (kidney stones).
Breast pathology is a specialized field of pathology that focuses on the diagnosis and study of diseases affecting the breast tissue, including benign conditions like fibrocystic changes and fibroadenomas, as well as malignant conditions such as breast cancer. It involves the examination of tissue samples from biopsies or surgical resections to identify abnormalities in cell structure, tissue architecture, and the presence of tumors.
Reproductive pathology is a specialized branch of pathology that focuses on diagnosing and studying diseases affecting the male and female reproductive systems. In males, this includes conditions affecting the testes, prostate, and epididymis, such as testicular cancer, prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and infertility issues. In females, it encompasses diseases of the ovaries, uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes, including conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and cervical or ovarian cancers.
Musculoskeletal pathology is a specialized field of pathology that focuses on diagnosing and studying diseases affecting the bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues of the body. It includes conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone tumors, fractures, muscular dystrophies, and tendon injuries.
Dermatopathology is a specialized field which focuses on the microscopic study of skin diseases. It involves examining skin tissue biopsies to identify the structural and compositional changes that occur due to various skin conditions. Dermatopathologists work alongside dermatologists, providing diagnostic insights into skin disorders, including infections, tumors, inflammatory conditions, and autoimmune diseases.
Nervous system pathology is a specialized branch of pathology focused on diagnosing and studying diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. It encompasses a wide range of conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, and demylinating brain disorders.
General Pathology module focuses on understanding disease mechanisms by exploring how diseases cause biological and structural changes in cells, tissues, and organs. It covers topics such as etiopathogenesis, which examines the causes and development of diseases (including genetic, environmental, and infectious factors), and cellular and tissue responses, which discusses how cells and tissues react to stress, injury, and inflammation, encompassing processes like necrosis, apoptosis, and repair
