  • Title: [Technical artifacts in biopsy of the oral cavity. I. Clinical and histopathologic aspects].
    Author: Lolli R, Venezia A, Bellardini M, De Nisi S, Demuro G.
    Journal: Minerva Stomatol; 1989 Jan; 38(1):37-45. PubMed ID: 2651870.
    Abstract:
    In the present work the problems of artifacts introduced in human oral biopsy specimens are discussed. The circumstances that can result in artifacts include: errors by the surgeon or assistant in handling the tissue at the time of biopsy, an improper fixation and faulty tissue processing. Different types of artifacts are described and illustrated and clinical and technical suggestions are given to prevent alterations of normal morphologic and cytologic features that can compromise an accurate diagnosis.
