    Journal: Indian J Pathol Microbiol; 1991 Apr; 34(2):136-9. PubMed ID: 1752640.
    Abstract:
    Cryostat frozen section technique was used on 1300 surgical biopsies. On final paraffin sections diagnosis there were 270 benign neoplasms, 200 malignant neoplasms and 830 inflammatory and non-neoplastic lesions. The overall accuracy using frozen section was 98.48 per cent with one false positive result (0.07 per cent), 17 false negative results (1.3 per cent) and 2 deferred diagnosis (0.15 per cent).
