Abstract

The history of pathology involves human dissections, autopsies, microscopy, as well as the development of histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular techniques. Through these methods, our understanding of anatomy and disease improved, and models of pathogenesis were gradually refined over time. This review discusses key milestones in the development of pathology as a branch of medical science, from ancient civilizations to the modern day.
