Grossing

File:Gross pathology of surgical margin sampling in lobectomy.jpg
Surgical margin sampling of a lobectomy for intraoperative consultation.

Perform the following:[1]

  • Measure the specimen in 3 dimensions.
  • Describe pleural surface, including color, and any presence of granularity, adhesions, retraction, or tumor.
  • Palpate for any tumors.
  • Ink the surgical margin and cut it away just below any sutures or staples. If the margin is substantially stapled (and their removal would be either too tissue-damaging or otherwise inconvenient), ink and use another section of the tissue underneath it for frozen sectioning.
  • In intraoperative consultations use a section that is presumably closest to a tumor for frozen sectioning, with the tissue enface, for radicality. This is generally enough to report to the surgeon, unless otherwise requested.
  • ((Sample the entire surgical margin for standard processing.))
  • Cut open the bronchi of the specimen with a pair of scissors, as far as they can fit within the lumina. Attempt to cut so as to be able to take a section that includes both any tumor and nearest bronchus. Describe the cut surface, including color and consistency, and any focal lesions.
  • Turn the specimen to the side with least cuts so far, and serially section it.
  • For any found lung tumor:
  • Measure tumor size as a maximum diameter (or 3 dimensions)
  • Determine location: Which lobe if applicable, and if it is peripheral, central or hilar.
  • Margin length to pleura and hilum/surgical margin.
  • Any involvement of major bronchi or blood vessels.
  • Describe any lymph nodes, including location, range of sizes and appearance of cut surface.

Microscopic evaluation

Look mainly for carcinoma. Further information: Lung tumor

Microscopy report

Lung synoptic reports contain information (number and station) on all lymph nodes received per accession. For example, if Parts A-D are mediastinal nodes (8 in total) and Part E is a lobectomy containing 2 additional peribronchial nodes, the synoptic report for Part E should document all 10 nodes, for example:

A. Lymph node, station 1:
Negative for carcinoma. (0/1, 2 etc)

B. Lymph node, station 2:
Negative for carcinoma. (0/1, 2 etc)

C. Lobectomy, RLL: Adenocarcinoma

Size:
Histologic type
Margins
