Large tumors should be sampled to demonstrate tumor type, margins, involvement of contiguous structures. Section of uninvolved gland. Lymph nodes, if present. Indicate margins with ink; margins are generally important in salivary gland lesions.

Sectioning reveals [tan, smooth, homogenous cut surfaces with cryptic architecture]. Representative sections are submitted [describe cassette submission]. 1 cassette with representative cross section(s) Cassette Submission: THYMUS Specimen Type: RESECTION (partial/total thymectomy) Gross Template: Labeled with the first name), medical patient’s name (last name, record number and received [fresh/in formalin] is a [***gram], (#), designated “[***]”, [***x***x***cm] [partial/total] thymectomy. [Describe orientation if provided]. Sectioning reveals [describe any lesions present including size, color, external appearance, relationship to capsule, calcification, necrosis, relationship to uninvolved thymus]. The remaining cut surfaces are [yellow, smooth, lobulated, fatty, unremarkable]. The adherent adipose tissue is dissected through for lymph nodes. [Describe number/size of lymph nodes identified]. Representative sections are submitted [describe cassette submission].
