|
| This is a trachelectomy specimen: a large budding tumor of the uterine cervix is observed. The vaginal section is in a disease free area. The parametrium are non-infiltrated, and supple. Turn the specimen over to observe the isthmus section. |

|
| The depth and the width of the tumour are measured. |
|
| A gross section in the sagittal plane is obtained allowing us to determine the length of the tumour. |
|
| The sample of the gross section in the sagittal plane is immediately put in a big cassette. |
|
| Parallel sections in the transversal plane involving the cervical mass and the parametrium of each hemi cervix are carried out and the samples are included in big cassettes. |
