Pathology specimen cross-contamination is a rare phenomenon in diagnostic pathology. Such "floaters" may result in delayed, missed or erroneous diagnoses. We describe the case of a patient with benign granuloma of the lung initially misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma due to a "floater."
病理标本交叉污染在诊断病理学中是一种罕见现象。这种“漂浮物”可能导致诊断延迟、漏诊或误诊。我们描述了一例肺部良性肉芽肿患者的病例，该患者最初因一个“漂浮物”被误诊为鳞状细胞癌。
