Lehre der abnormen und krankhaften Vorgänge und Zustände im Körper
Pathology is the study of disease, encompassing a wide range of biology research and medical practices, though in modern medicine it typically refers more narrowly to specialized tests and processes that diagnose disease by analyzing tissue and cell samples. It matters because pathologists play a crucial role in identifying what diseases people have, which is essential for guiding treatment decisions.

Die Pathologie (von altgriechisch πάθος páthos, deutsch ‚Krankheit, Leiden‘, und λόγος, lógos, deutsch ‚Lehre‘, also „Lehre von den Leiden“) ist die Lehre von den abnormalen und krankhaften Vorgängen und Zuständen im Körper und deren Ursachen. Gegenstand der Erforschung sind sowohl Einzelphänomene (Symptome) als auch Symptomverbände (Syndrome) sowie Missbildungen aller Art. Die Pathologie untersucht die Herkunft (Ätiologie), die Entstehungsweise (Pathogenese), die Verlaufsform und die Auswirkungen von Krankheiten einschließlich der jeweiligen Vorgänge im Körper (Funktionelle Pathologie bzw. Pathophysiologie). Die pathologische Diagnostik, also die Tätigkeit des Pathologen (Facharzt für Pathologie), beruht in erster Linie auf der Beurteilung von Geweben anhand ihrer makroskopischen (pathologische Anatomie) und lichtmikroskopischen Aspekte (Histopathologie, Zytologie). Zunehmend werden biochemische und molekularbiologische Methoden eingesetzt, in der Forschung die Elektronenmikroskopie. Pathologen führen auch klinische Obduktionen durch. Die Untersuchung von Geweben lebender Patienten (Biopsie) überwiegt jedoch bei weitem. Gelegentlich wird für diese „Pathologie am Lebenden“ die Bezeichnung Klinische Pathologie verwendet.
