OUTSIDE SLIDE CONSULTATIONS
Outside Slide Review
In general, outside slides are sent from other institutions for review or a second opinion. They require a precise description of the number of slides received and the label on each slide. DESCRIBE EVERTYHING ON THE LABELS OF THE SLIDES, INCLUDING HOSPITAL NAMES, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, SPECIAL STAINS, ETC.. Everything! This is because only a portion of the total slides may have been sent. Mention whether there is or is not an accompanying report and whether it corresponds to the slides. For example:
GROSS DESCRIPTION: Received for review are 4 slides and the corresponding pathology report. All slides are labeled " Department of Pathology, Named Hospital, City, California, 90002 L01-341". Individual slides are labeled "A", "B", "C", and "D”, respectively.
MICROSCOPIC: Slides from the specimen designated “periocular tissue” in the accompanying report show dense connective tissue with moderate chronic inflammatory infiltrate consisting of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and occasional eosinophils with no involvement of vessels.
Slides from the specimen designated “lacrimal gland" in the accompanying report show dense connective tissue and lacrimal gland with moderate chronic inflammatory infiltrate consisting of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and occasional eosinophils without involvement of vessels.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Soft tissue, "periocular tissue" (OSR-biopsy)- chronic inflammation
FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Lacrimal gland, "lacrimal gland " (OSR-biopsy)- chronic inflammation
R and S cases are similar but EY cases have a letter format. But the general principle to indicate everything on the submitted slides holds true on these cases as well.
