What is bone biopsy test
Bone biopsy is a histopathology test that involves the collection and examination of a small sample of bone tissue to diagnose various bone disorders and diseases.
Role of the lab in bone biopsy test
In bone biopsy, the lab plays a crucial role in processing and analyzing the collected bone tissue sample. The lab technicians prepare thin sections of the bone sample, stain them, and examine them under a microscope to identify any abnormalities or diseases.
Indications to do the bone biopsy test
Bone biopsy is usually done when there is a suspicion of bone cancer, bone infections, bone tumors, or certain metabolic bone diseases. It is also performed to evaluate the response to treatment, monitor disease progression, or aid in the diagnosis of unexplained bone pain.
What can be diagnosed in the bone biopsy test
The bone biopsy test can help diagnose various conditions, including bone cancers (such as osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, or multiple myeloma), bone infections (such as osteomyelitis), bone tumors, metabolic bone diseases (such as osteoporosis or Paget's disease), and other bone disorders.
How does the lab perform Bone
Bone biopsy histopathology begins with the excision/removal of tissue by the surgeon. After the excision, the sample is brought to the Pathofast Lab in Pune for further analysis. In the lab, the specimen undergoes a gross assessment to evaluate its external appearance, weight, dimensions, and other characteristics. Following the gross assessment, the specimen is sectioned, and slides are prepared for microscopic analysis. These slides are carefully examined by our experienced pathologists to provide accurate and detailed insights.
Lab's Role in Bone Biopsy
It is important to note that the excision/removal of tissue in bone biopsy is performed by the patient's referring surgeon, not by the Pathofast Lab. Our role begins once the excised sample is brought to our lab for histopathological analysis. We specialize in analyzing the tissue samples and providing comprehensive reports based on the microscopic examination of the slides prepared from the specimen.
Gross Assessment of the Specimen
During the gross assessment of the bone biopsy specimen, our lab meticulously examines various aspects such as weight, dimensions, and external appearance. This evaluation helps in understanding the macroscopic characteristics of the tissue sample and provides valuable information for further analysis. By assessing these factors, we can gather important insights into the nature and condition of the bone tissue.
Microscopic Analysis and Slide Preparation
Microscopic analysis plays a crucial role in bone biopsy histopathology. After the gross assessment, the specimen is sectioned, and slides are prepared. These slides consist of thin slices of the tissue sample, which are then examined under a microscope. Our experienced pathologists carefully analyze the cellular composition, architecture, and any abnormalities present in the bone tissue. This microscopic analysis helps in providing an accurate diagnosis and determining the appropriate treatment plan.
Major diseases diagnosed by histopathology pertaining to bone biopsy
Histopathology of bone biopsy can diagnose a wide range of diseases. It plays a crucial role in identifying various bone-related conditions and disorders.
Infections diagnosed by histopathology of bone biopsy
Histopathology of bone biopsy can help in diagnosing infections such as osteomyelitis, tuberculosis of bone, fungal infections, and other infectious diseases affecting the bone.
Cancers diagnosed by histopathology of bone biopsy
Histopathology of bone biopsy is essential for diagnosing bone cancers like osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, and metastatic bone tumors originating from other primary sites.
Degenerative disorders diagnosed by histopathology of bone biopsy
Histopathology of bone biopsy aids in diagnosing degenerative disorders of the bone such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, Paget's disease of bone, and other age-related bone changes.

IHC for Osteoporosis in Pune
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) can be used to assess the expression of various markers in bone tissue samples to study the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Some of the relevant IHC markers for osteoporosis include RANKL, OPG, and osteocalcin.
IHC for Osteomyelitis in Pune
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is helpful in identifying specific markers in bone tissue samples to diagnose osteomyelitis. Some of the commonly used IHC markers for osteomyelitis include CD68, CD15, and HLA-DR.
IHC for Bone Tumor in Pune
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) plays a crucial role in diagnosing and subclassifying bone tumors. Various IHC markers like S100, CD99, CD34, and Ki-67 are used to identify specific tumor types and determine their aggressiveness.
IHC for Fracture in Pune
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) can be used to study the healing process of fractures by detecting specific markers in bone tissue samples. Some of the relevant IHC markers for fracture healing include collagen type I, osteocalcin, and BMP-2.
