The Pediatric & Perinatal Pathology Service is directly responsible for handling and reporting specimens from pediatric patients for the Jackson Health System/Holtz Children’s Hospital in addition to consultative services for a variety of outside medical centers and regional hospitals.
The service oversees diagnostic testing of all tissues involved by benign and malignant processes. The subspecialty has one of the most active perinatal pathology services in the United States where approximately 7500 surgical specimens are reviewed every year. In addition, the high-volume subspecialty includes a pediatric autopsy service with over 75 pediatric autopsies performed per year encompassing a large spectrum of intrauterine and congenital disorders.
Our faculty are academically productive and dedicated to promoting the educational mission of the university. The Pediatric and Perinatal pathology service is led by Dr. Miguel Reyes-Mugica. Numerous collaborative research projects are active with other departments including Pediatrics and OB/GYN. Our fellowship program is ACGME-certified.Pediatric Autopsy
The Pediatric & Perinatal Pathology Service at Jackson Health System/Holtz Children’s Hospital provides autopsy services for in-house as well as for outside institutions. Our service is run by highly-trained pediatric pathologists who are available to the region for comprehensive fetal and perinatal postmortem examinations through the age of 18 years. A representative from the outlying institution should call our Consultation Service to discuss any cases under consideration for an autopsy. Autopsies requiring immediate attention i.e. concern for a metabolic cause of death should be discussed with the Director of the Service (mobile: 904-610-6580; e-mail: AXS3162@MED.MIAMI.EDU) for proper planning.
The Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine offers a Fellowship in Pediatric & Perinatal Pathology.
