Abstract

Frozen section analysis of the gynecologic tract is a complex task due to the number of organs, tumors, and entities involved. Awareness of the importance of a thorough gross evaluation, careful selection of samples, and the numerous histologic features associated with this endeavor is a must. This chapter acts to serve as a quick reference to some of the more common epidemiologic, gross, and histologic features of some of the more common entities encountered in intraoperative consultation of the female reproductive system.
