| {{Moderate-begin}}A. Labeled with patient's name and medical record number. The specimen is received fresh and consists of a{{Moderate-end}} placenta with attached membranes and umbilical cord. The membranes are tan-red{{Moderate-begin}} with a marginal insertion. The site of rupture is __ cm from the nearest placental margin. There is no accessory lobe.{{Moderate-end}} The trimmed placental weight is __ grams. The placental disc measures __ cm and varies in thickness from __ to __ cm. The umbilical cord is tan-pink and eccentrically inserted{{Moderate-begin}}, __ cm from the nearest placental margin, and measures __ cm in length, __ cm in proximal diameter and __ cm in distal diameter.{{Moderate-end}} Cut sections of the cord reveal three blood vessels. The fetal surface is blue-pink, smooth with normal vasculature and << minimal / moderate / major>> subchorionic fibrin deposition. The maternal surface is complete with <<minimal / moderate / major>> physiologic calcifications. Sectioning reveals a red, spongy, homogenous parenchyma without gross lesions. {{Moderate-begin}}Representative sections are submitted for microscopic examination in 4 cassettes.{{Moderate-end}} | | {{Moderate-begin}}A.
