As the main anatomical and radiological landmarks are lacking in neck dissection specimens, orientation and labelling of the lymph node levels becomes very important for precise histopathological reporting. A few labelling techniques for neck dissection specimens have been described previously, which can aid the histopathologist in orienting the specimen. However, a combined method of specimen labelling in which the ND specimen is labelled during the operation and once it has been resected would improve specimen orientation. This article describes a technique of in vivo and in vitro labelling of neck dissection specimens that specifies the levels of the lymph nodes with proper anatomical landmarks. This technique eliminates the grey areas between levels II and III and between levels III and IV, which are difficult to identify precisely in neck dissection specimens. This technique is easily reproducible and represents a useful tool in attaining precise pathological reporting.
由于颈部解剖标本中缺乏主要的解剖学和影像学标志，因此对淋巴结水平进行定向和标记对于准确的组织病理学报告非常重要。以前已经描述了一些颈部解剖标本的标记技术，这些技术可以帮助组织病理学家对标本进行定向。然而，一种在手术过程中和切除后对颈部解剖标本进行联合标记的方法可以改善标本的定向。本文描述了一种对颈部解剖标本进行体内和体外标记的技术，该技术使用适当的解剖学标志来指定淋巴结的水平。该技术消除了 II 区和 III 区之间以及 III 区和 IV 区之间难以在颈部解剖标本中精确识别的灰色区域。该技术易于复制，是实现准确病理报告的有用工具。
