Ancillary Testing

 

Stanford’s Medical Liver Pathology Service offers diagnostic excellence in the evaluation of non-neoplastic liver diseases including chronic hepatitis, drug and toxin related injury, fatty liver disease, metabolic disorders and others. These cases require extensive clinical-pathological correlation, which we supplement with the use of ancillary techniques including a full spectrum of histochemical and immunohistochemical stains, electron microscopy, and molecular studies. The Medical Liver Pathology Service also reviews biopsies of transplanted livers.

Our service provides expert diagnosis for both pediatric and adult cases.

 

Primary Pathology Diagnosis

Stanford’s Liver Pathology Service Pathology Service performs gross and microscopic examination and reporting of wet tissue cases.

 

Consultative Opinions & Case Reviews

Stanford’s Liver Pathology Service offers consultative opinions on challenging cases submitted from outside of the Stanford network. These consultations can be utilized to offer expert opinion, answer specific questions or confirm diagnosis.

Consult Cases

To submit slides for case review, please fill out a Stanford requisition and include all slides, relevant reports, and ancillary testing materials and reports. If possible, please include a block, as it will greatly speed the finalization of the case should additional testing be necessary. Package all materials securely and send via a padded envelope.

 

Wet Tissue Specimens

Please submit materials in proper transport media. All samples should be labeled with the patient information (name, DOB and one other unique identifier) and sealed in a biohazard bag.
