Pathology Consultative Services
Soft Tissue Pathology
The Soft Tissue Pathology Consultative Service offers comprehensive evaluation of benign and malignant neoplasms arising in soft tissue as well as mesenchymal neoplasms of the skin and parenchymal organs.
These lesions are extremely rare and diverse in histologic appearance and biologic behavior, making accurate diagnosis, grading, and staging especially challenging.
