histologies
Microscopic tissue analyses
Histologies is the plural of histology, the branch of biology dealing with the microscopic structure of tissues.
In medical contexts, histologies often refers to the specific tissue types or cellular compositions identified in biopsies or samples: The tumor showed mixed histologies.
Pathologists compare histologies to distinguish between disease variants.
