【 摘 要 】

Frozen section, which is also known as intraoperative pathology consultation, is one of the most challenging expertise of surgical pathology practice due to many reasons, such as inadequate sampling, freezing artefacts on the tissue section and necessity of quick decision due to the limitation of time, and is being used in many surgical operations in order to choose the right procedure for the patients (1,2). The surgeons should share the patient’s clinical data with the pathologist for the method to be successful and specify the expectations from the pathologist for choosing the most appropriate treatment option (1). In addition, both the surgeon and the pathologist must know the advantages and the limitations of the frozen section, specify the indications and act between these limits.
