NEUROSURGICAL PATHOLOGY:

Particular interest and experience in neurosurgical pathology of central nervous system combined with support from an array of histological, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic techniques provide a variety of capabilities for evaluating problem neurosurgical cases including:

•  Lower-grade glial neoplasms versus reactive gliosis 
• Higher-grade glial neoplasms versus unusual metastatic tumors or pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas
• Gangliogliomas versus harmartomas or desmoplasmic astrocytomas
• PML versus HIV encephalitis or toxoplasma encephalitis
• Multiple sclerosis or related demyelinating diseases versus glial neoplasms
