The Value of Intraoperative Frozen Section Analysis for Margin Status in Breast Conservation Surgery in a Nontertiary Institution
Figure 1
((a)–(d)) Sequential pictures of how a “saucer” margin is resected through a boomerang incision [12] with a lateral limb for this 17 mm grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma sited in a periareolar position. Such a “saucer” margin offers best outcomes when performed in “virgin” tissue planes; hence, intraoperative frozen section analysis affords the pathologist an enhanced role in BCT.
