Key gaps in pathologic reporting for appendiceal mucinous neoplasms: time for universal synoptic reporting?
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The prognosis of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMN) is directly related to their histopathology. Existing classification schemes encompass tumors with widely divergent clinical behaviors within a single diagnosis, making it difficult for clinicians to interpret pathology reports to counsel patients on optimal management. We sought to examine pathology reports generated for AMN for inclusion of essential histologic features.
