The apex and bladder neck margins are shaved, serially sectioned and entirely submitted. Representative sections (totaling approximately ***% of the prostate) are submitted for permanent sections. Ink key: Black right Blue left Yellow midline anterior Red midline posterior Cassette Submission: A1- right prostatic base margin, perpendicular A2- left prostatic base margin, perpendicular A3- right apex margin, perpendicular A4- left apex margin, perpendicular A5- cross-section of right seminal vesicle base A6- cross-section of left seminal vesicle base A7- right and left vas deferens margins, en face A8- level __, whole mount section A9- level __, whole mount section A10- level __, whole mount section TESTIS Specimen Type: BIOPSY Comment: These are performed either for tumor or for analysis of spermatogenesis. They may be processed identically. It is important to treat these biopsies as GENTLY, testicular parenchyma is very delicate. Gross Template: Labeled with the (***), medical record number (***), and patient’s name designated “***”, received [fresh/in formalin] is a [number] [color, texture] core biopsies measuring *** cm in length x *** cm in diameter. The specimen is entirely submitted [describe cassette submission]. Cassette Submission: All tissue submitted ORCHIECTOMY (non-neoplastic) Specimen Type: Gross Template: Labeled with the (***), medical record number (***), and patient’s name designated “***”, received [fresh/in formalin] is a(n) ***gram, *** x *** x *** cm [intact/disrupted] orchiectomy. The spermatic cord measures *** cm in length x *** cm in diameter. The tunica vaginalis is [present/absent].
