Abstract
This article provides an overview of common oral and maxillofacial specimens submitted to pathology laboratories and highlights important macroscopic features that are crucial to diagnosis. The head and neck is complex and recognition of normal anatomical structures is essential for optimal dissection of specimens. Specimen orientation and sampling are critical for assessment and the importance of clinical and radiological correlation is emphasised.
期刊介绍:
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
