Histopathology lab. role in diagnosis of
tumors
___________________________________
• 1) Differentiate macroscopically as
well as microscopically between
benign and malignant tumors.
• 2) Enlist & describe various types of
biopsies for diagnosing tumors.
Participation of the surgical
pathological in the hospital care?
Early detection-screening program
Diagnosis
 Classification (histo&clinical)
Staging& grading
prognosis
Teaching & training, researches
Hospital information > Autopsy.
Relationship between the surgical
pathological Dept. & clinician??
* Microscopic diagnosis is a subjective
evaluation that acquires full essential
clinical data, types of surgical& findings.
•Surgical pathology depends heavily on
the input of clinicians and surgeons.
• Multidisciplinary efforts= classification
of tumors into benign & malignant
(accurate diagnosis) , prognosis, and
predictive considerations.
First step: How to Differentiate between
benign and malignant tumors??
• Update clinical
• Apply approved
knowledge
pathology
• Close affiliations with diagnostic criteria.
surgical specialties,
• (Macroscopic &
internal medicine,
Microscopic
dermatology,
neurology, diagnostic examination.

therapy, and medical • ancillary special
oncology.
techniques)
Second steps: Criteria to differentiate
between Benign & Malignant Tumors
• These can be discussed under the headings:
•
•
•
•
1)Morphological macroscopic pattern
2) Morphological microscopic pattern:
a) Differentiation and Anaplasia
b) Rate of Growth SGR=percentage
increase per unit time, DT= markers
• c) Local aggressive Invasion
• d) Metastasis
Third steps: How to Differentiate between
benign and malignant tumors??
• I. Clinical information:
• 1) Full essential clinical
data.
• 2) Surgical findings.
• 3) Type of surgery.
Very dangerous: lacking
adequate clinical
information e.g. metastatic
nodule in known case.
End result: Adequate pathologic
interpretation

•
•
a) Differentiation, architecture& Anaplasia
b) Rate of Growth, mitotic rate

Benign neoplasm - morphological findings?
How to confirm this Diagnosis? What’s the Criteria?
- No invasion.
- Orientation& architecture.
- Degree of cellular atypia.
- Mitoses. (not specific).
- locally not aggressive.

Hamopoietic and lymphoid cell

N.B: All neoplasm have two basic components:
1. Neoplastic cells
2. Supporting stroma (connective tissue & blood
vessels)
GRADING/STAGING
• GRADING: HOW “DIFFERENTIATED”
ARE THE CELLS?
• STAGING: HOW MUCH ANATOMIC
EXTENSION? TNM
• Which one of the above do you
think is more important?
WELL?
(pearls)
MODERATE?
(intercellular bridges)
POOR?
(WTF!?!)
GRADING for Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Grading of Malignant Neoplasms
• Grade Definition:
Grade I → Well differentiated
Grade II → Moderately differentiated
Grade III → Poorly differentiated
Grade IV → Nearly anaplastic
ADENOCARCINOMA GRADING
Staging
• The staging of cancers is based on:
• 1) The size of the primary lesion.
• 2) Its extent of spread to regional lymph nodes.
• 3) The presence or absence of blood-borne
metastases.
• The major staging system currently in use is the
American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging:
Tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) system used for
most cancers

tumors

benign and malignant tumors.
• 2) Enlist & describe various types of

Types of biopsy procedures used to
diagnose Tumors
__________________________________
Interpreting biopsies is important duties of the
surgical pathologist.
Type of specimens- in surgical pathology
Lab::
• Cytology
• Biopsies (Histopathology) .
• Autopsies (necropsy)
Early preservation
fixation
site of the lesion
Types of tissue biopsy
• TYPES;
• Incisional& excisional biopsies (Main type).
• Classified according to the instrument
used to obtain them (cold knife, cautery,
needle, or endoscope, colonoscopy,
cystscope, clopscope, curettage
bronchoscope, image-guided, Nasoscope)
How biopsy helpful in handling
any lesion\ tumour??
• Final diagnosis.
• Extent of the lesion.
• Invasion of neighboring
structures.
• Assess surgical margins.
• Vascular invasion+ Peri-neural
• Lymph node metastases
Types of biopsy procedures used to
diagnose Tumors
I. Cytology specimen.
It is a simple and economic, minimally invasive
method of obtaining of a patient's material\cells
of:
Corporal fluids-cytology (ascitic, pleural,
and pericardic fluids, urine, sputum)
Imprint of organs (lymph node,brain).
Brushings (bronchial, esophagi, etc.).
Gynecological extensions- exfoliative
Fine needle aspiration biopsy- FNAC
Fine needle aspiration biopsy
Types of biopsy procedures used to
diagnose Tumors
II. Biopsy.
It is a tissue sample obtained with the objective
of arriving to a diagnosis.
Types of biopsies:
1-Incisional: Alone it takes a small fragment to
study. surgical incision-is strictly of a diagnostic
in nature
2- Excisional: the whole lesion is extirpated to
study with a margin of healthy tissue- for large
lesion (Both therapeutic and diagnostic in nature)
Types of biopsy procedures used to
diagnose Tumors
3- Curettage biopsy- for endometrial biopsy and evucation of
other uterine content.
4- Frozen biopsy: (Intra-operative identification about type of
tumor, to assess surgical margins, special stains, molecular
applications) e.g. Renal, muscle biopsy, Intra-operative assessment
of tumor type and margin.
5- NEDDLE BIOPSY
• Core biopsy.
• IMAGE GUIDED NEEDLE BIOPSY (Can't be felt).
• VACCUM ASSISSTED NEEDLE BIOPSY (suction device).
• Bone marrow biopsy.
6- Endoscopic biopsy:
- GIT endoscopy (Upper: esophagus, stoma, duodenum+
Lower: colon), GUN Cystoscopy, etc..
trocar biopsy
Liver biopsy
III. Autopsies.
It is the opening of a cadaver in their three cavities,
cranial, thoracic and abdominal with the objective of
studying the possible alterations of the illness that it
possessed, to determine the causes of the death.
Two fundamental types of autopsies exist.
1) Clinical (when the death is product of an illness) .
2) Forensic. (death is produced
by non-natural elements,
murders, burns either suicide
or accidental) .
Important pre-analytical precaution
in tissue biopsy handling
• Ensure fixation+ Proper identification (request
form)
• Orientation& Gross appearance documentation
(number, size(cm), weight, shape, color,
consistency, Land mark& surgical margins.+\photo& radiography).
• Trimming\cutting to obtain a representative
section ”in case of large bx” or submit all.
• Send for tissue processing and H&E slides
preparation as adopted protocol or send for
frozen preparation immediately.
PERSERVATION
•
•
•
•
•
Formalin fixative – for routine hematoxylin and eosin staining of tissue sections
Bouin’s fixative for testicular biopsy.
Glutaraldehyde for electron microscopy (renal & muscle biopsies)
Refrigeration – for hormone, receptor or other molecular analysis.
Frozen section – for determining the nature of the lesion and the surgical margins of
the tumour. ( renal & muscle biopsies)
Biopsies-tissue processing
Uses of fresh “un-fixed” Biopsies
• Cultures – bacterial, fungal, viral. (infected biopsies)
• Electron microscopy (renal & researches biopsies)
• Histochemical and Immunohistochemical stains(muscle
study& tumor)
• Imprints (touch preparations) –(lymph node e.g. HL& NHL)
• Cytogenetic studies (CML, Burkett's lymphoma)
• Molecular genetics studies.
• Photographs, whether conventional or digital.
• X-ray studies.
• Special fixatives (other than routine formalin)
• Tissue culture
• Tumor procurement/tumor bank needs
the best biopsy
• Ideal requisition.
• Proper identification and orientation
• Adequate for diagnosis (esp. depth, volume,
size and according to numbers required e.g.
prostatic biopsy).
• Cleanly excised, uncrushed wedge .
• Obvious anatomic landmarks (surgical
labels “suture material”, stains, cautery )
• That includes a junction between normal
and neoplastic tissue.
• “Tissue unsatisfactory for interpretation.”
METHODS OF evaluation& Diagnosis
I. SPECIAL STAINS.
* Immunohistochemistry (diagnosis &Tumor
origin, phentotying, prognosis (c-erB2),
therapeutic purpose (ER).
* Further Cytochemistry (renal, liver, muscle)
II. Electron microscopy (e.g. Renal biopsy).
III. Biochemical test(e.g. Enzymes, hormones).
I V. Tumor markers (AFP, HCG, PSA, CEA,
CA125 )= DIAGNOSIS & FOLLOW-UP

Neurofibromatosis (NF1)
MICRO-ARRAYS
THOUSANDS of genes identified from
tumors give the cells their own identity
and FINGERPRINT and may give
important prognostic information as well
as guidelines for therapy. Some say this
may replace standard histopathologic
identifications of tumors.
