Cytopathology is the laboratory study of cells and tissues. A cytopathologist diagnoses diseases after microscopic study of cells from tissue samples, cells, and fluids and secretions from the human body. An important part of the cytopathologist’s work is interpreting cells from the female reproductive system, using the “Pap test,” and being a consultant to other physicians in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases.
