Non-neoplastic and inflammatory conditions

Non-neoplastic and inflammatory conditions

The diagnosis, assessment and management of non-neoplastic disease generates numerous pathology specimens. Examples include appendectomy for appendicitis, cholecystectomy for gallstone disease, hysterectomy for fibroids, skin excision for various lesions such as sebaceous cysts and prostatic chippings from glands with hyperplasia. Thorough histological examina - tion helps to confirm or refute the provisional clinical diagnosis and also to exclude other conditions, some of which may be allbladder, malignant entirely incidental, e.g. neoplasia of the g change in uterine fibroids or carcinoma in prostatic chippings. Surgical and medical teams also generate a very large number of biopsies with the purpose of diagnosing and assessing non-neoplastic disease. In this setting, correlation with the clinical picture may be very important. For example, clinical details are essential for meaningful interpretation of inflamma - tory bowel disease biopsies, inflammatory skin biopsies, renal biopsies and medical liver biopsies.
