Received without fixative/in formalin, labeled _____ and “_____”, is an intact/previously opened uterus with attached fallopian tubes and ovaries. The uterus weighs __ gm after removal of the bilateral adnexae and is __ cm from cervix to fundus, __ cm from cornu to cornu, and __ cm in maximum anteroposterior diameter. The serosa is smooth/has ragged adhesions over the anterior aspect. The anterior surface is inked blue and the posterior black. The uterus has a ___ (shape) __ x __ cm endometrial cavity ____ (covered by a ___ cm-thick endometrium/filled by shaggy, white-gray tumor). The tumor involves ____ (extent and location) and is __ x __ cm in greatest surface dimensions and __ cm above the endometrial surface. It invades __ cm into the __ cm thick myometrium, at ____ (location). The remaining anterior endometrium is ____ (appearance) and __ cm thick. The remaining myometrium measures __ cm in greatest thickness and contains a single ___ cm diameter, rubbery, white nodule in (location). The __ x __ cm ectocervical surface is ____ (appearance) with a __ cm slit-like os. [See Salpingectomy and Oophorectomy for dictation templates of fallopian tubes and ovaries.] Margins are inked as follows: anterior = black, posterior = blue. Representative sections, including ______ (approximately __% of the tumor/entire endometrium), are submitted as follows:
#__ & #__ = anterior cervix, 1 piece
#__ = posterior cervix, 1 piece
#__ = left parametrium, 2 pieces
#__ = right parametrium, 2 pieces
#__ = anterior upper endocervical canal /lower uterine segment, 1 piece
#__ = posterior upper endocervical canal/lower uterine segment, 1 piece
#__ & #__ = tumor invading myometrium, full-thickness section, 1 piece in each*
#__ = tumor with anterior adjacent lower endometrium
#__ = tumor with posterior adjacent lower endometrium,
#__ & #__ = myometrial nodule,
#__ = right fallopian tube and ovary
#__ = left fallopian tube and ovary
__ blocks, __ H&E
* For hyperplasia without identifiable carcinoma, the endometrium should submitted as follows:
#__ = full-thickness anterior wall,
#__ = full-thickness posterior wall,
#__ - #__ = endometrium with superficial myometrium, upper anterior, __ pieces each
#__ - #__ = endometrium with superficial myometrium, upper posterior, __ pieces each
#__ - #__ = endometrium with superficial myometrium, lower anterior portion, 4 pieces each
#__ - #__ = endometrium with superficial myometrium, lower posterior portion, 4 pieces each
__ blocks, __ H&E
