What We Do:
The Hematopathology Section of the Laboratory of Pathology, NCI, offers expert diagnostic services in the field of hematopathology. The staff provides assistance in the diagnosis and classification of reactive and neoplastic lymphoproliferative disorders, immunodeficiency states, and diverse hematological malignancies. We provide consultative and collaborative services to physicians in the National Cancer Institute, as well as to physicians studying patients with hematolymphoid disorders in other institutes, in particular NIAID, NHLBI, and NIAMSD.
Outside specimens should be submitted through the Laboratory of Pathology Surgical Pathology Service, with an order entered in CRIS. Under special instructions, please note: ATTENTION, HEMATOPATHOLOGY. For adequate diagnostic evaluation, paraffin blocks and/or unstained charged slides (15 or more is preferable) should be included with representative H&E stained slides. In-House specimens from patients in the Clinical Center should be submitted unfixed in saline to the Hematopathology Clinical Laboratory (see below)>
Hematopathology Consultations (Non-NIH Physicians)

The Section is not a routine reference laboratory, and does not accept cases for routine second opinions or for primary immunophenotyping.
