Recommendations for the reporting of lymphoid neoplasms: a report from the Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology. The Ad Hoc Committee on reporting of lymphoid neoplasms.

The Association of Directors of Anatomic and Surgical Pathology (ADASP) has named several committees to develop recommendations for the content of the surgical pathology report for common malignant tumors. The recommendations are written by a committee of individuals with special interest and expertise, and are then reviewed by the council of ADASP and subsequently by the entire membership. The recommendations have been divided into 4 major areas: (1) items that provide an informative gross description; (2) additional diagnostic features recommended for inclusion in every report, if possible; (3) optional features that may be included in the final report; and (4) a checklist.
