Histopathology

  • Gross Tissue Examination

    Macroscopic evaluation of fresh or fixed specimens for lesions by a pathologist prior to histopathology processing.

  • Panfungal PCR and Sequencing [Referral]

    Referral tests are not performed at TVMDL; a processing and shipping fee will apply. Identification of fungal organisms by PCR and sequencing. This PCR is recommended to complement identification of fungal organisms on histopathology and cytology. The assay is not recommended when fungal organisms are not observed histologically, due to the potential of amplification of…

  • PCR for Antigen Receptor Rearrangement – Fixed Tissue [Referral]

    Referral tests are not performed at TVMDL; a processing and shipping fee will apply. Differentiation of a monoclonal/oligoclonal or neoplastic lymphoid proliferation from a reactive and polyclonal or pseudoclonal proliferation by PCR.  This assay is recommended for fixed tissue only; for fluid samples see TVMDL referral test #8022, PCR for Antigen Receptor Rearrangement – Cytology…

  • Chronic Wasting Disease (IHC)

    Detection of abnormal prion protein, the suspected causative agent of chronic wasting disease, in either antemortem samples (biopsies of retropharyngeal lymph node, tonsil, or rectal wall), or postmortem samples (retropharyngeal lymph node or obex) by immunohistochemical staining.

  • Histopathology Slide Review

    Review of previously read histopathology slides.

  • Melanoma Panel – Diagnostic (IHC) [Referral]

    Referral tests are not performed at TVMDL; a processing and shipping fee will apply. Immunohistochemical labeling for melan A, PNL-2, TRP-1, TRP-2 as a cocktail.

  • Melanoma Panel – Prognostic (IHC) [Referral]

    Referral tests are not performed at TVMDL; a processing and shipping fee will apply. Test includes analysis of proliferation activity (Ki-67 IHC) and interpretation for melanoma prognosis.

  • Special Stain – Client Request

    Special slide stain as requested by the client.

  • Tumor Identification (IHC) [Referral]

    Referral tests are not performed at TVMDL; a processing and shipping fee will apply. Identification of specific tumors by immunohistochemical staining.

  • Melanoma Panel – Complete (IHC) [Referral]

    Referral tests are not performed at TVMDL; a processing and shipping fee will apply. The complete panel includes Immunohistochemical labeling for melan A, PNL-2, TRP-1, TRP-2 as a cocktail, analysis of proliferation activity (Ki-67 IHC), and interpretation for melanoma prognosis.
