===Gross report===
{{Report-begin|fresh=yes|intraop=yes}} a wedge-shaped piece of lung which measures __ cm and has a staple line along one aspect measuring __ cm in length. The stapled surgical margin is inked black. The visceral pleura is mottled tan-pink and slightly puckered in the center. Cut sections show a tan, soft, tumor measuring __ cm in greatest dimension, located __ cm from the visceral pleura and __ cm from the surgical margin.  The remaining parenchyma is pink and spongy.{{Report-end}}
