Pathology is the study of the causes and processes of diseases through microscopic study. A pediatric pathologist studies samples under a microscope, including tissue specimens, cells, body fluids, and secretions from infants, children and adolescents. Information gathered from the laboratory study of these samples allows the pediatric pathologist to diagnose, confirm and monitor diseases in children. This specialist has the knowledge and understanding of normal and abnormal growth and development, along with extensive knowledge of pediatric medicine.
