RE: [Histonet] pathology intradepartmental consults

[Dishop, Megan]

Internal consults are in the range of 2-7% in our institution.  Some of these 
are due to mandated second review of all new malignancies.  

Retrospective review of cases by other pathologists, for example 
conferences/tumor board/etc, is higher, in the range of 10-14% of cases.

What percentage of anatomical pathology cases in your facility are reviewed
by a second pathologist (intradepartmental consult)?

[Histonet] RE: frozen lung sections

[Dishop, Megan]

We inflate our lung tissue with a thin OCT compound (50% OCT/ 50% 0.5M sucrose 
mixture) using a needle and syringe and then embed the lung in 100% OCT and 
snap freeze.  It helps for interpretation to have open alveoli and also gives 
the tissue some stability internally for frozen sections.

Subject: [Histonet] frozen lung sections

Hi all,

 I have received some lung samples on OCT. These lungs have not been in
PBS or any fixative. They went directly from dissection into OCT and
frozen. 

 I cannot get a section. The temp of the cryostat is -20. I have done
some reading and it seems the best results come from immersion in PBS,
then 4% paraformaldehyde then into sucrose. Can anyone clarify the
procedure or offer advice? I am unfamiliar with this technique since
most of my frozen sectioning is heart tissue and it does not present the
same problem as the lung.

Thanks,

Betsy
