Abstract

Optimal care of a patient implies a good professional understanding between all the medical personnel involved in that patient's care. Similarly a basic understanding of the areas where surgery and pathology interact would go a long way, in clarifying the disease process in the patient. This review aims to cover a few topics in liver lesions, FNAC Vs core biopsy, IHC, Margin examination, and frozen sections, in order to improve the communication between these two specialities.

Keywords: Core biopsies; Dysplastic nodules; Frozen section; IHC.
