What are Common Pitfalls in Histological Diagnosis?
Common pitfalls include:
Misinterpretation: Overlapping features between benign and malignant conditions can lead to misinterpretation. For example, atypical hyperplasia may be mistaken for carcinoma. Sampling Errors: Inadequate or non-representative samples can result in incomplete diagnosis. Ensuring adequate and representative tissue sampling is crucial. Processing Artifacts: Artifacts introduced during tissue processing, such as shrinkage or folding, can obscure diagnostic features.
