Tissue expansion of lung bronchi due to tissue processing for histology - A comparative analysis of paraffin versus frozen sections in a pig model.

CONCLUSIONS: The bronchus wall thickness in the frozen section was 14% reduced compared to the paraffin section. In routine pathology as well as in scientific studies these results are of relevance, as airway wall thickness represents a relevant marker for pathological interpretation, especially using CT image techniques.
