How Do Histological Types Influence Disease Diagnosis?
Different diseases exhibit specific histological patterns that aid in diagnosis. For example: - Carcinomas: These are cancers arising from epithelial cells and are further categorized based on their histological appearance (e.g., adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma). - Sarcomas: These originate from connective tissues and have distinct histological features compared to carcinomas. - Inflammatory Diseases: Conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can be differentiated based on their histological findings in the gastrointestinal tract.
