Cassette Submission: 10-12 cassettes Submit all grossly involved lymph nodes Note: Consult pathologist with any questions these are difficult – specimens to gross! URETER Specimen Type: URETERECTOMY (resection) Gross Template: Labeled with the first name), medical patient’s name (last name, record number (#), designated and received [fresh/in formalin] is a segment of “[***]”, ureter with adherent soft tissue measuring [***] cm in length x [***] cm in diameter. The adventitial surface is [describe Sectioning reveals abnormalities, defects, lesions]. [describe lesion- size, shape, color, consistency]. The mucosa is [pink-tan, unremarkable]. The mass has a [***cm] maximum thickness and [is grossly superficial, extends into the wall, extends to the adventitial surface]. The lesion measures [***cm] from the proximal margin and [***cm] from the distal margin. The uninvolved wall is tan-white and has a [***cm] average thickness. The lumen ranges from [***]-[***cm] in diameter. [Number] lymph nodes are identified. Representative sections are submitted [describe cassette submission]. Cassette Submission: Incidental removal one cassette of representative cross sections – Stenotic lesions Cross sections of stenotic zone Cross sections of proximal and distal areas Neoplastic Proximal resection margin (en face) Distal resection margin (en face) One section per cm of tumor Show relationship to lumen and depth of invasion
