Abstract (English): Pathological anatomy (PA) is a specialty whose history dates back to 1837. It is part of hospital procedures, primarily surgical procedures, since it provides an accurate diagnosis to the patient; however, it continues to be an undervalued specialty, which is why the objective of this study was to raise awareness of the importance of PA in hospital procedures and its contributions to medicine. It was conducted a web review of medical articles in Spanish and English that referred to situations where PA provided solutions, evidence, or justified its intervention. Medical articles were found that referred to the importance of histopathological diagnosis, its role in multidisciplinary teams, the diagnostic certainty it offers, its role in teaching, and its role as evidence in oncology treatments. Changes with new technologies were also reviewed, primarily the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to pathological anatomy laboratories. Another relevant area is provided by its usefulness in the advancement of immunological therapies and interventional radiology. With these changes there is an increase in the popularity of PA, discipline that provides accurate diagnoses, often guiding surgical and medical practice, and also facilitating research. The absence of this discipline leads to inaccurate diagnoses, limited medical research, and reduced treatment options; therefore, its presence is essential in every hospital, especially those with surgical departments.

Abstract (Spanish): La anatomía patológica (AP) es una especialidad cuya historia data de 1837. Forma parte de los procesos hospitalarios, principalmente quirúrgicos, dado que aporta un diagnóstico certero al paciente; sin embargo, continúa siendo una especialidad infravalorada, por lo que el objetivo de este estudio fue dar a conocer la importancia de la AP en los procesos hospitalarios y sus aportaciones a la medicina. Se hizo una revisión en la web de artículos médicos en español e inglés que hicieran referencia a situaciones en las que la AP aportara soluciones, evidencias o se justificara su intervención. Se encontraron artículos médicos que hacen referencia a la importancia del diagnóstico histopatológico, su intervención en los equipos multidisciplinarios, la certeza diagnóstica que ofrece, su rol en la enseñanza y su participación como evidencia en los tratamientos oncológicos. Se revisaron además los cambios con las nuevas tecnologías, principalmente la aplicación de la inteligencia artificial (IA) a los laboratorios de AP. Otra área relevante es su utilidad en el avance de las terapias inmunológicas y la radiología intervencionista. Con estos cambios se ha visto un incremento en la popularidad de la AP, disciplina que proporciona diagnósticos precisos y en muchos casos dirige la conducta quirúrgica y médica, además de favorecer la investigación. La ausencia de esta disciplina genera diagnósticos imprecisos, investigación médica limitada y disminuye las opciones de tratamiento; por lo tanto, su presencia resulta esencial en todo hospital, principalmente aquellos que cuentan con áreas quirúrgicas.
