Here are examples where current version corrupts pathology terms:
Molecular markers
Ki-67 shows a high proliferative index in the poorly differentiated region (which accounts for 50-75% of the tumor).

Slide and Cassette numbers
CASSETTES: Representative sections are submitted as follows:
B1: Proximal surgical margin.
B2: Distal surgical margin.
B3: Appendix, cross-sections and distal tip, longitudinal.
B4-B5: Surgical margins, separate small bowel segment.
B6: Separate small bowel.
B7: Proximal terminal ileum.
B8: Middle terminal ileum.
B9: Distal terminal ileum.
B10: Ascending colon polyps proximal to mass (smaller inked
blue).
B11-B12: Closest approach of mass to radial surgical margin, full
thickness.
B13-B15: Mass.
