Histopathology & Cytopathology

Hematopathology

Hematopathology is the study of diseases and disorders that affect blood cells, their production and any organs and tissues involved in hematopoiesis (including constituents, such as white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets) and the tissues and organs that make up the hematopoietic system. The hematopoietic system affects tissues and organs that mainly produce and / or host hematopoietic cells and includes bone marrow, lymph nodes, thymus, spleen and other lymphoid tissues. The hematopathologist reviews biopsies of lymph nodes, bone marrow and other tissues involved by an infiltrate of cells in the hematopoietic system.
