An abnormal pathology report indicates that laboratory tests have identified unusual or atypical findings in tissue or cell samples. This may suggest the presence of diseases such as cancer, infections, or inflammatory conditions. The report typically includes descriptions of the abnormalities, their potential significance, and recommendations for further evaluation or treatment. It is crucial for healthcare providers to interpret these findings in the context of the patient's overall clinical picture.
A pathology report is a document that gives results of an examination of cells and tissues. This is usually an microscopic examination and the report interprets the results.
Abnormal physiology is sometimes called pathophysiology while abnormal anatomy is referred to as pathology or pathologic anatomy.
Yes, coding a pathology report typically involves using information from the operative report, as the operative report provides crucial context about the procedure performed and the specimens collected. The pathology report details the findings from the examination of those specimens. Both documents are essential for accurate coding and billing, as they ensure that the diagnosis and the procedures performed are properly linked and recorded.

Histology is the study of all normal tissue both grossly and microscopically. It has been directly related to pathology, the study of all abnormal tissue. Since pathology is studying abnormal tissue, this could be indirectly an antonym of histology. Although pathology needs histology to do most of the manual labor before the pathologist can observe the tissue microscopically.

In a pathology report, ATP typically stands for "atypical cells," indicating the presence of abnormal or atypical cells that may suggest a potential malignancy or other pathological process. The presence of ATP can prompt further investigation or monitoring, as these cells may be associated with various diseases, including cancers. It is essential for clinicians to interpret ATP findings in the context of the overall clinical picture and additional diagnostic information.
Abnormal conditions within the tissues of an organism. This can range from infectious diseases to cancer to degenerative issues.
The name for the pathology method to report cervical cytology is called the Bethesda System. It is a standardized method used to classify and report cervical cytology results, providing consistent terminology for healthcare professionals to communicate findings accurately.
Yes, although a more common phrase used is "normally abnormal" - in absolute terms the lesion described is abnormal but is it a commonly seen lesion that does not clarify or impact the diagnosis.
The pathology report confirmed basal cell carcinoma.
