====Multiple lesions==== | |||
In the context of several (large) lesions it is good practice to: | |||
*Measure the distance between the lesions.‡ | |||
*Take sections showing the interface between the lesions (if possible) ''or'' non-lesional tissue between the lesions.‡ | |||
*Document with images (photographs). | |||
Note: | |||
*‡ If the tissue is studded with too many lesions to count this is impractical. Practically, four or five lesions is a reasonable limit; if more lesions are present the focus should be on (1) the largest lesions, (2) the distance to the margins for the largest lesions and the closest (smaller) lesion(s). | |||
