Gross processing

If chorionic villi are not visually found, all submitted tissue needs to be submitted.

Gross report

(Labeled - products of conception.) The specimen (is received <<fresh / in formalin>>) and consists of multiple fragments of soft tan-pink decidua, blood clots and amniotic sac measuring about 5 cc in aggregate. The intact amniotic sac measures 2.3 cm in greatest dimension. Fetal tissue is identified within the amniotic sac, measuring 1.0 cm in crown-rump length. Representative sections are submitted for microscopic examination (in 1 cassette).

Microscopy report

Immature chorionic villi, having loose stroma and few capillaries.

Most important is to detect the presence of chorionic villi.

Example:

((Products of conception/fetal tissue:)) Products of conception, including immature chorionic villi, and fetal tissue corresponding to first trimester pregnancy. ((Spontaneous abortion, clinically.))
