Anatomic Pathology

We process specimens in order to help make a diagnosis.
Pathology and Laboratory Medicine menu

The Anatomic Pathology Division processes and analyzes diagnostic specimens for patients at Sinai Health. These include tissues or cells obtained through surgery, biopsy or fine needle aspiration.

The division includes diagnostic services under Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology that contribute to the delivery of precision medicine. We also perform autopsies. 

Our academic faculty reviews diagnostic materials that were obtained at other institutions for patients looking for a second opinion or for therapy. 

We also provide consultative services to other pathologists who seek diagnostic guidance for challenging entities. 

Our physicians, technical and administrative staff are committed to making accurate diagnoses. These are then communicated effectively and efficiently to guide treatment and help train the next generation of laboratory workers.

Physicians requesting pathology consultations are asked to complete the request form and fax it to PLM consultation services at 416-586-8628.
