Pathology of scant atypical fragments in a lymph node biopsy often indicates the presence of atypical cells that may suggest a neoplastic process, but the limited quantity of tissue can make definitive diagnosis challenging. These atypical fragments may represent early stages of malignancy or reactive changes. Further evaluation, including additional imaging or molecular studies, may be necessary to clarify the nature of the atypical cells and assess their clinical significance. A careful correlation with clinical history and additional diagnostic tests is essential for accurate interpretation.

Normal retroperitoneal lymph nodes typically measure less than 1 cm in short axis diameter. Lymph nodes larger than this may indicate pathology, such as infection or malignancy. The size and characteristics of these lymph nodes, along with clinical context and imaging findings, are crucial for diagnosis.
Common causes of enlargement: Viral infections, HIV, Mononucleosis syndromes, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, dental pathology such as periodontitis.
No. Reptiles do not have lymph nodes as mammals do. Reptiles have lymph tissue in certain organs, particularly the spleen, but no peripheral nodes. They do have valves along the lymph perivascular areas though, sometimes called lymph "hearts", but these are not directly comparable to lymph nodes for trapping of toxins.Source: Infectious Diseases and Pathology of Reptiles By Elliott R. Jacobson"Although reptiles lack discreet lymph nodes, they do have less structured lymphoid cell aggregates within intestinal and pharyngeal mucosa."Source: Investigative Immunotoxicology By Helen Tryphonas
As much breast tissue as possible is removed. Approximately 10 to 20 axillary lymph nodes usually are removed.
Langerhans cell pathology can affect various organs, including the skin, lymph nodes, bone, and lungs. Skin involvement may manifest as skin rashes or lesions, while lymph node involvement can lead to lymphadenopathy. Bone involvement can cause bone pain or fractures, and lung involvement may result in pulmonary dysfunction.
Whenever 'gross' and 'microscopic examination' are used in the procedure it is reported under pathology rather than surgical. Use code 88309
