ENT Pathology
ENT pathology is a subspecialty of pathology that focuses on the study and diagnosis of diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) region. It involves the examination of tissue specimens obtained from biopsies, surgeries, and autopsies to determine the underlying pathology of diseases affecting the ENT region.
ENT pathologists work closely with otolaryngologists and other healthcare professionals to provide accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment recommendations. They may use a variety of techniques to analyze tissue samples, including histology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular pathology. Some of the common ENT pathologies that ENT pathologists diagnose and treat include infections, inflammatory conditions, benign and malignant tumors, congenital anomalies, and degenerative disorders. The accurate diagnosis of these conditions is essential for guiding treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes.
