Preanalytical Phase Tumor Contaminants in Intraoperative Margins From Transoral Robotic Surgeries
Preanalytical contaminants may cause confusion in intraoperative margin assessment. They are more likely to occur in margins of nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma resected by transoral robotic surgery if there is intraoperative tumor disruption. Rarely, preanalytical contaminants lead to frozen section deferral or discrepancy with final diagnosis.
