Gross Description -- Brain Mass


GROSS DESCRIPTION:

The specimen is received in eight parts.

Part 1:

Part 1 is received in formalin labeled "-1 1/2 target 2 right posterior parietal lesion". It consists of multiple fragments of focally hemorrhagic tan soft tissue measuring 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3 cm. in aggregate.

Part 2:

Part 2 is received in formalin labeled "-1 target 2 right posterior parietal lesion". It consists of multiple fragments of tan focally hemorrhagic soft tissue measuring 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3 cm. in aggregate.

Part 3:

Part 3 is received in formalin labeled "-.5 target 2 right posterior parietal lesion". It consists of multiple fragments of tan focally hemorrhagic soft tissue measuring 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3 cm. in aggregate.

Part 4:

Part 4 is received in formalin labeled "0 target 2 right posterior parietal lesion". It consists of multiple fragments of tan focally hemorrhagic tissue measuring 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3 cm. in aggregate.

Parts 1 through 4 were spun down and combined and totally submitted in a cassette labeled 1A. A touch imprint was performed on these parts.

Part 5:

Part 5 is received in formalin labeled "Q4 target 2 right posterior parietal brain lesion". It consists of multiple fragments of tan soft focally hemorrhagic tissue measuring 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 cm. in aggregate.

Part 6:

Part 6 is received in formalin labeled "-.5 target 2 right posterior parietal brain lesion". It consists of multiple fragments of tan soft focally hemorrhagic tissue measuring 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 cm. in aggregate.

Part 7:

Part 7 is received in formalin labeled "-1 target 2 right posterior parietal brain lesion". It consists of multiple tan focally hemorrhagic soft tissue fragments measuring 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 cm. in aggregate.

Part 8:

Part 8 is received in formalin labeled "-1 1/2 target 2 right posterior parietal brain lesion". It consists of multiple fragments of tan soft focally hemorrhagic tissue measuring 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 cm. in aggregate.

Parts 5 through 8 were spun down and combined and totally submitted in a cassette labeled 2A.
