Title: Analysis of 427 cases of frozen section diagnosis of lung lesions during operation
Abstract: Objective To summarize experience from frozen section diagnosis of lung lesions.Methods The data of 427 lung lesions frozen section diagnoses were analyzed retrospectively.Results The accurate rate of the frozen section method for lung lesions was 96.7%,the uncertain rate 0.9%,the inaccurate rate 2.3%.In the 10 misdiagnosed cases,the lesions with the highest misdiagnosis rate were sclerosing hemangioma(36.4%),adenocarcinoma(3.9%) and squamous cell carcinoma(1.7%).Conclusions Frozen section can be an effective method in histologic diagnosis of lung lesions during operation.Comprehensive clinical data,sufficient specimen and careful observation are the basis of correct diagnosis.The rich pathological knowledge and abundant practical experience of pathologists are the key in assuring the accuracy of frozen section diagnosis.
