'''Intraoperative consultation''', also '''quick section''' and '''frozen section''', is when a surgeon requests an opinion during an operation so that they can appropriately manage a patient.  It is abbreviated '''IC'''.  Frozen section is often abbreviated '''FS'''.

===Endometrial carcinoma===
===General===
*Diagnosis usually known before the surgery.
*The IC revolves around whether the lesion has a "high risk" of [[lymph node metastasis]].
 
Factors that increase the risk of lymph node metastases:<ref>{{Ref BITFS|43}}</ref>
*Histology:
**Serous or clear cell.
**FIGO grade 3.
*Staging parameters - involvement of:
**Outer half of the myometrium.
**Uterine cervix.
**Adnexa.
 
===Checklist===
Gross assessment:
*Uterine cervix involvement (rare).
*Adnexal involvement (rare).
*Myometrial involvement - after sectioning bivalving and sectioning (with a 5 mm interval).
 
===Parathyroid gland and thyroid gland===
{{Main|Parathyroid gland}}
Possibilities:
*Parathyroid gland:
**Benign parathyroid gland.
**[[Parathyroid adenoma]]. †
**[[Parathyroid hyperplasia]]. †
**[[Parathyroid carcinoma]].
*Thyroid gland.
**Thyroid usually follicular - though parathyroid occasionally is pseudofollicular.
**Thyroid often has birefringent (calcium oxalate) crystals (60 of 80 cases) whereas parathyroid less often does (2 or 20 cases).<ref name=pmid24618617>{{cite journal |authors=Wong KS, Lewis JS, Gottipati S, Chernock RD |title=Utility of birefringent crystal identification by polarized light microscopy in distinguishing thyroid from parathyroid tissue on intraoperative frozen sections |journal=Am J Surg Pathol |volume=38 |issue=9 |pages=1212–9 |date=September 2014 |pmid=24618617 |doi=10.1097/PAS.0000000000000204 |url=}}</ref>
*[[Lymph node]].
*Fibroadipose tissue.
*[[Paraganglioma]].
 
Notes:
* † It is ''not'' possible to determine which one without history ''or'' all parathyroid glands.
* Surgeons are pretty good at identifying parathyroid tissue ~ 94% accurate in one series.<ref name=pmid16360503>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Dewan | first1 = AK. | last2 = Kapadia | first2 = SB. | last3 = Hollenbeak | first3 = CS. | last4 = Stack | first4 = BC. | title = Is routine frozen section necessary for parathyroid surgery? | journal = Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg | volume = 133 | issue = 6 | pages = 857-62 | month = Dec | year = 2005 | doi = 10.1016/j.otohns.2005.05.001 | PMID = 16360503 }}</ref>

[[Cut-up]] at frozen section depends on how the specimen is received and its size.
*Small skin specimens: the standard grossing procedure for fixed specimens.
*Large skin specimens: inking is typically as per the routine process. It is useful to mark non-margin if the nearest margin is taken [[en face margin|en face]].
*Oriented margins should be grossed in a way that allows orientation by [[ink]]. Ideally, ink should allow one to identify the different specimens. See ''[[Grossing separately received oriented margins for a skin ellipse|grossing separately received oriented margins for a skin ellipse]]''.
