| Abstract |
"Many complex pediatric cases are treated in specialized children's hospitals; however, more and more children are first diagnosed at general facilities. Thus, most practicing pathologists deal with pediatric specimens, but not on a daily basis. Although there are some similarities between adult and pediatric biopsies, there are also significant differences. Many adult diseases do not or only very rarely occur in children, while the common pediatric lesions are uncommon in the adult. The spectrum of infectious organisms, types of tumors, and autoimmune, renal, pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, and neurologic diseases are distinct, which changes the diagnostic approach. The small size of the patient influences the type of biopsy that is possible; thus, triaging the tissue and use of judicious ancillary testing are critical"-- Provided by publisher. |
