Despite the best efforts, errors can still occur in histology. Common sources of errors include:
Technical Errors: These can occur during tissue processing, staining, or sectioning and can result in poor quality samples that are difficult to interpret. Interpretative Errors: Human error in interpreting histological slides can lead to misdiagnosis. This is why double-checking and peer reviews are important. Sampling Errors: Inadequate or improperly collected samples may not represent the true pathology of the tissue, leading to incorrect conclusions.
