Gross processing

Gross pathologic processing of diffuse skin lesions, by lesion size:[1]
<4 mm 4 - 8 mm 9 - 15 mm
File:Tissue selection from skin excision less than 4 mm with diffuse lesion.png File:Tissue selection from skin excision 4-8 mm with diffuse lesion.png File:Tissue selection from skin excision 9-15 mm with diffuse lesion.png

In table above, each top image shows recommended lines for cutting out slices to be submitted for further processing. Bottom image shows which side of the slice that should be put to microtomy. Dashed lines here mean that either side could be used.

Up to the entire specimen may be sliced and submitted if the risk of malignancy is high.[1] Otherwise the rest may be saved in case microscopy indicates further sampling.

    - With a "standard histologic examination" that, in addition to the lesion, only includes one section from each side along the longest diameter of the specimen.
    - It also shows an example of circular coverage, with equal coverage distance in all four directions.
    - The entire specimen may be submitted if the risk of malignancy is high.
