Frozen diagnosis: atypical lymphoid proliferation, suspicious for lymphoma
Final diagnosis: Large B cell lymphoma (confirmed by flow cytometry)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- For small biopsy, touch prep imprint cytology should always be done before frozen section
- When suspicious for lymphoma, remember to save tissue for flow cytometric study, permanent H&E section, and other possibel studies
- Cytologic diagnosis is very valuable adjunct for the correct intraoperative frozen section diagnosis
- If possible, get patient's history from the surgeon before or during the surgery
Please share your interesting frozen cases and lessons!
