Abstract
The task of the histopathologist is to make diagnoses on the basis of microscopic examination of tissues. Histological diagnoses, as all other laboratory results, supply the clinician with evidence for making or confirming his clinical diagnosis and his judgement about prognosis. Furthermore, when recorded in regional, nationwide or international registers, such information may be important for developments in health care and preventive medicine.
