Nodal Excisions and Neck Dissection Specimens

Scope

The dataset has been developed for the reporting of lymph node resections from patients with carcinomas and melanomas of the head and neck. This excludes nodal resections for lymphoma and sarcomas. It is not intended for use in reporting lymph node core biopsy or fine needle aspirations. Carcinomas covered by the dataset include squamous cell carcinomas, sinonasal carcinomas, salivary and non-salivary type adenocarcinomas and neuroendocrine tumours. Pathologists may also apply the dataset to metastatic non-Merkel cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas and other cutaneous carcinomas. This dataset is to be used in conjunction with other datasets in the Head and Neck Series.

Publication History
