Anatomopathology
(Unavailable service for the moment)
Anatomopathology, or pathological anatomy, known as the “anapath” is the medical specialty that studies the morphology of the macroscopic and microscopic abnormalities in biological tissues and normal or pathological cells.
The doctor who specializes in anatomopathology is called an anatomopathologist, or just pathologist.
Therefore, thyroid anatomopathology is a discipline studying diseases of the structure and / or function of the thyroid, a gland that secretes hormones essential for the human metabolism.
Thyroid nodules, “bumps” visible or incidentally discovered during a neck examination by an ENT, your family doctor, or during a routine ultrasound, are very common in the general population and are mild in more than 90% of cases.
Larger nodules and nodules that have suspicious characteristics on ultrasound should be sampled to exclude malignancy or cancer.
Services offered at the Polyclinique Centre-Ville
At the Polyclinique Centre-Ville, we perform biopsies of thyroid nodules in the presence of a multidisciplinary team: an endocrinologist specialized in thyroid pathology which performs biopsy of nodules under ultrasound guidance in the presence of a specialized pathologist which examines, in your presence, the tissue taken under ultrasound guidance on site, confirms the quality of the sample and established a preliminary diagnosis.
This approach in one visit, offers a fast and comprehensive patients care by a multidisciplinary team, providing high quality care.
Your referring physician will receive within 24 hours a preliminary report pending the final report.
