A simple inflation method for frozen diagnosis of lung tissue

Purpose: Evaluation of lung tissue by frozen section has often posed difficulties for the pathologist as uninflated lung tissue showed severe artificial atelectasis and frozen artifacts. Recently, the demand for intraoperative pathology consultation for minute lung lesions including GGO (ground‐glass opacity) has been increasing. Tissue inflation using fixative has been very helpful in the diagnosis of non‐neoplastic lung lesions and minute cancerous lesions; however, this method has been yet been employed for frozen section diagnosis. To obviate this problem, we have inflated lung tissue with the embedding medium (OCT compound) for frozen section diagnosis.
