The histopathological examination of lymphadenectomy specimens is an important task in oncological diagnosis. For staging purposes a minimal program of lymph node examination has been defined. It provides a reliable pN classification. The numbers of nodes examined and involved have to be stated in the pathology report. An extended examination program is required to analyse the topography of lymphatic spread and to substantiate the extent of lymphadenectomy for quality assurance.
淋巴结切除标本的组织病理学检查是肿瘤诊断中的一项重要任务。出于分期目的，已定义了一个淋巴结检查的最低标准程序。它提供了可靠的pN分类。病理报告中必须注明检查和受累的淋巴结数量。为了分析淋巴扩散的部位并证实淋巴结切除范围以确保质量，需要一个扩展的检查程序。
