Currently our non-pathologists do not gross oriented skin excisions or small lymph nodes. I do understand that CAP requires a list of tissues that can be handled by non-pathologists but am wondering how others are handling these specimens.
I know there are labs, for example some large dermatopathology labs that are having the oriented skin biopsies grossed by techs. Of course a accepted protocol has to be listed for the dissection. Let me know how your institution are handling these specimens.
