Description:
A description
of what cells or a tissue sample taken during a biopsy look
like when viewed under a microscope. The microscopic
description may include the type and number of cells seen
in the tissue sample and how they compare with normal
cells. It may also include any special cell features and
results from other laboratory tests done on the cell or
tissue sample. Microscopic descriptions are usually
included in a pathology report, which may be used to help
diagnose diseases, such as cancer, and plan
treatment.
