Abstract
While we have attempted to illustrate the dissection of the majority of the standard head and neck specimens received in the surgical pathology laboratory, you will occasionally be faced with a complex specimen that we have not illustrated. Without a game plan, these specimens can be overwhelming.
Treat nature in terms of the cylinder, the sphere, and the cone, all in perspective.
