Abstract
Plastic surgeons routinely submit breast capsulectomy surgical specimens for pathologic evaluation. However, clinically significant findings are rarely identified. In an effort to reduce health care costs and the unnecessary use of hospital resources, this study reviews the efficacy of submitting br...

Abstract
Detecting and classifying error in a surgical pathology (SP) practice is an important part of a comprehensive quality assurance program. There are a number of mechanisms to detect error, including secondary review, examination of amended reports, correlation studies (cytology-histology and frozen-fi...

Abstract
We describe our methods for reducing error as much as possible during the pre-analytical and analytical phases. This was achieved by revising procedures, and by using computer technology and automation. Most mistakes are the result of human error in the identification and matching of patient and sam...

Abstract
We are also faced with a global rethinking of lung cancer care, especially once novel therapy strategies have been made available on the basis of the diverse characteristics of tumors. Although morphology still remains a not easily replaceable tool for lung cancer classification, we are now challeng...

Abstract
During the study period, 34 cases of soft tissue lesions were received for review and second opinion. The mean age of the patients was 39 22 years and immunohistochemistry was performed in 21 (62%) of 34 cases. Concurrence between the review and initial diagnosis was seen in 18 (53%) cases (category...

Abstract
In the four years, 759 frozen sections have been done, 25 of which showed discordant results. The most common site of frozen section and discrepancy was in central nervous system tumors. The reason for inaccuracy in frozen section diagnosis in 52% of cases was proved to be interpretative, 44% sampli...

Abstract
The essential difference between frozen sections and formalin-fixed sections is the greater use of an automated laboratory system to process the smaller size and greater number of blocks produced using the latter process. An effective Mohs service based on formalin-fixed sections requires a minimum...

Abstract
Precise micro-surgical removal of tumour with minimal damage to the surrounding normal tissue requires a series of excisions, each guided by an examination of frozen histology of the previous. An example is Mohs surgery for the removal of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in skin. The preparation of froze...
