Many foci of neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia, the largest was 6 mm in diameter, were detected on the

A
wedge biopsy of the nipple was performed to confirm the initial shave biopsy pathology (Figure 1).
When initial washings did not yield significant amount of secretions, the diagnosis of PAP was questioned and WLL was converted to
wedge biopsy of the lung in the operating room.
A cortical
wedge biopsy of the size 1x0.5x 0.3 [cm.sup.3] of the transplanted kidney was taken immediately after revascularization on completion of vascular anastomosis.
Wedge biopsy was done and sent for histopathological examination.
Pathological report of the gallbladder and

The Otago University research also Looked at patients within the Green study period, comparing those initially managed with a small, diagnostic punch or
