Abstract
The typing of malignant tumors relies on histopathological diagnoses which are made after the gross and microscopic examination of tissues removed from living patients. This definition usually applies to surgical pathology, the oncological subspeciality of which is certainly a major one, and sets surgical pathology apart from postmortem anatomical pathology. The increasing use of diagnostic cytopathology, particularly of fine needle aspiration, has led many to include this branch of morphology with surgical pathology.
