Intraoperative Pathologic Consultation on Hysterectomy Specimens for Endometrial Cancer: An Assessment of the Accuracy of Frozen Sections, "Gross-Only" Evaluations, and Obtaining Random Sections of a Grossly "Normal" Endometrium.
Conclusions: Obtaining random sections in the absence of a gross lesion has no significant benefit, and a negative result is likely to provide inaccurate data to the surgeon. Frozen-section analyses are a generally reliable tool to determine "low-risk" pathologic parameters that were evaluated herein when a gross lesion is present.
