What are the Limitations of Histopathological Examination?
While histopathological examination is a powerful tool, it does have limitations:
1. Invasiveness: Tissue sample collection can be invasive and carry risks, especially in fragile neonates. 2. Interpretation Variability: The accuracy of interpretation can vary between pathologists, and sometimes findings may be subjective. 3. Time-Consuming: Processing and analyzing tissue samples can take time, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. 4. Sample Quality: Poor quality or inadequate samples can lead to inconclusive results, necessitating repeat procedures.
