Abstract
Our biopsy error analysis indicates that mistakes occur most frequently during the analytical and pre-analytical stages, with 18.95% of all entries containing some type of error. It is urgent that the unit redesign aspects of the biopsy ordering process such as sample identification and epidemiological data entry. This type of error not only delays the analysis but also creates a significant risk of misdiagnosis and therefore incorrect treatment.
