SECTION III - GROSS FINDINGS (Continued)
UROGENITAL TRACT (Continued)
d. Examine the urinary bladder, urethra and prostate gland (as applicable). Open the bladder and urethra along
their ventral aspects to the os penis (male) or external urethral meatus (female). Closely examine the urethra
and trigone of the urinary bladder. Collect representative specimens of urinary bladder, urethra and prostate
gland (as applicable).
e. Examine the male genitalia. Collect, label and submit both testes and epididymides in entirety with a
segment of each spermatic cord. For proper fixation bisect the testes.
f. Examine the female genitalia. Use scissors to open the vulva, vestibule, vagina, cervix and uterus to the
oviducts. Collect representative specimens of these structures and the ovaries.
DIGESTIVE TRACT REMOVAL (Para. 3-9f)
Examine the anus and rectum. Incise the skin and subcutaneous tissues around the anus and remove the
abdominal viscera en masse. Place on a large cutting board for further dissection (See para. 3-17).
ILIAC LYMPH NODES AND ABDOMINAL AORTA (Para. 3-11)
Examine iliac lymph nodes and abdominal aorta. Collect representative specimens.
HEART, GREAT VESSELS AND PERICARDIAL SAC (Para. 3-12)
Incise the pericardial sac. Check for abnormal fluid accumulation. Reflect the pericardium over the base of the
heart. Examine the base of the heart for neoplastic disease. Examine the great vessels and atria. Examine the
epicardial surface and coronary arteries. Carefully dissect the heart (see fig. 3-1 or page 8 of this form) and
examine all endocardial surfaces. Collect and submit the entire heart.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM (Para. 3-13)
a. Trachea. Examine and open the trachea from the larynx to the level of the primary bronchi. Collect
representative specimens.
c. Lungs. Palpate the peripheral and hilar areas of all lung lobes. Isolate and infuse the airways and alveolar
spaces of the right cranial lung lobe with formalin (see para. 3-13b). Dissect the remaining lung lobes by
opening all major bronchi. Collect representative specimens.
LIVER AND PANCREAS (Para. 3-14)
Examine and collect a representative specimen of pancreas with an attached segment of mesentery and
duodenum. Verify the patency of the bile duct by applying pressure to the gallbladder, while observing for bile
expulsion at the major duodenal papilla. Open and examine the gallbladder. Open the large hepatic arteries and
veins (visceral surface) and examine. Serially section the liver and collect representative specimens (no more
than 0.5 cm thick) of liver and gallbladder.
SPLEEN (Para. 3-15)
Examine, serially section and collect one or more representative specimens (no more than 0.5 cm thick).
MESENTERY (Para. 3-16)
Examine the omentum, mesentery and the root of the mesentery. Examine and collect representative mesenteric
lymph nodes.
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT (Para. 3-17)
a. Oral Cavity. Examine the oral cavity, teeth, pharynx and larynx. Locate, examine and collect each tonsil.
Sharp dissection through the soft tissue between the tongue and mandible, across the soft palate and through
the hyoid apparatus will free the tongue and oropharynx. Locate, examine and collect the medial
retropharyngeal lymph nodes.
b. Salivary Glands and Lymph Nodes. Locate and examine the mandibular, parotid and sublingual salivary
glands, and regional lymph nodes. Collect representative specimens of mandibular salivary glands and regional
lymph nodes, if indicated. Separately label tissues that have a similar appearance, for later identification.
c. Esophagus (Para. 3-9c). Open, examine and collect a representative specimen of esophagus. The distal
esophagus may be ligated with suitable material prior to transection to prevent spillage of gastric contents.
d. Stomach and Intestines. Open, examine and rinse the mucosal surfaces of the distal esophagus, stomach
and duodenum with physiologic saline. Do not rinse with tap water. Collect designated specimens. Open,
examine and collect representative specimens from the remaining small and large intestine. Alternately,
specimens of intestine may be collected by resecting unopened (8-10 cm) segments, gently flushing the lumen
with physiologic saline, ligating each end, and then gently distending the segment with formalin using a syringe
and needle.
