So Called Junk Materials & Pitfalls
The so-called junk materials are important
- major workload of a private practice
- problematic if normal histology and embryology is not well known (normal structures may be mistaken as neoplasm)
- important resource for immunohistochemistry controls
- incidental neoplasms are not uncommon
- systemic diseases like amyloidosis or vascultis may have features in these specimens
- proof of surgery in medico-legal cases and for billing purposes
- Normal histologic features are used to name or describe neoplasms
- Autopsy practice is in decline, these specimens are good to learn autopsy pathology
