===Tumour in tip - flipped block=== | |||
<pre> | |||
Lesion, Right Lower Eyelid, Excision: | |||
- BASAL CELL CARCINOMA (BCC), favour positive margin, see comment. | |||
Comment: | |||
BCC was found in block 1 (one of the tips) on the initial cut. | |||
In block 1, BCC is present but distant from the inked margin | |||
in the plane of section. The margin is not in the plane of section; | |||
thus, trimming of a negative margin cannot be entirely excluded. As BCC | |||
is seen on both sides of the block, a positive margin is favoured. | |||
