Hepatobiliary Pathology Consultation Services
Second Opinion Consultation | Immunohistochemistry | Molecular Pathology Testing
Our pathologists diagnose nearly 7,500 liver and pancreas cases every year, which include diverse intraoperative consultations, high-complexity patients, and more than 150 Whipple procedures. Each of our pathologists has expertise in the diagnostic interpretation of medical liver disease and liver transplantation.
A core tenet of our consultation service incorporates histologic features with clinical data for an integrated, highly-informative diagnostic interpretation and report.
