Gross morphology - a radical hysterectomy specimen, anterior side. The blue color is due to the injection of a dye needed for sentinel node identification.
Sampling of the gross section in the sagittal plane is performed: the cervical mass, the uterus wall, the use of big cassettes (70 x 50 x 15 mm) is sometimes required.
We obtain a full sample of the specimen of radical hysterectomy: the following are systematically included: the cervical mass, right parametrium, left parametrium, the uterus wall.
