Abstract
Specimen grossing is a key step in the pathology examination of pancreatic resection specimens. Optimal display of pathologic changes and extensive tissue sampling are important determinants of the quality of pathology reporting. Divergence in macroscopic examination practice has led to considerable variation in the reporting of factors that are of clinical and prognostic significance. This article provides a detailed account of the macroscopic examination procedure with reference to current (inter-)national guidelines and recommendations.
