Name of entity
- Ideally should be World Health Organization (WHO) name.
- E.g. pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, not malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
- Names should reflect the pathogenesis as is understood currently.
- E.g. keratocystic odontogenic tumour, not odontogenic keratocyst.
- The use of common misnomers is discouraged.
- Some terms are tolerated... if they are very common, e.g. pyogenic granuloma (better term would be lobular capillary hemangioma).
- Other names are listed under the heading with also known as (AKA).
Standard headings
- General - this includes, clinical information, prognosis and treatment.
- Gross - this includes radiology and endoscopic exams.
- Microscopic.
- Stains.
- IHC.
- Molecular (optional).
- Sign out.
Microscopic (heading)

- Examples:
- Eosinophils in eosinophilic esophagitis.
- Nuclear atypia at the free surface in tubular adenoma.
