Figure 1 Recommended blocks for histology in resected oesophageal neoplasms. (A) Oesophagectomy specimen. (B) Oesophago-gastrectomy specimen containing tumour above the gastro-oesophageal junction. (C) Oesophago-gastrectomy specimen containing tumour at the gastro-oesophageal junction. (D) Resected specimen for high grade dysplasia/in situ carcinoma. Shaded blocks represent the recommended minimum number to be sampled (see text). (A) and (C) adapted from Ackerman's surgical pathology. 19
