Gross Description

The biopsy specimen was received in formalin and consisted of multiple, irregularly shaped fragments of pink-hemorrhagic soft tissue measuring 1.1 x 0.9 x 0.3cm in aggregate. Because the tissue was received in formalin, no additional tissue was available for flow cytometry or cytogenetic studies.
