Abstract

Autopsy means to see for oneself. It is derived from Greek word autopsia, autos(oneself)and opsis(eye). The main prerequisite of autopsy is to provide information about the cause and mode of death. It gives us information related to death of deceased to the investigating officer as well as family members. ^[1-3] Many times, there are certain findings which are not related to the primary cause of death. Histopathology is of great academic value in these cases it helps in finding rare lesions that go unnoticed when the person is alive.
