    Abstract:
    Spleen tissue sampling for bioptical examination should be performed after mutual consultation of clinician and pathologist. Clinician should know what is expected from the pathologist. This can influence preparation and sampling method considerably. In a great amount of cases the whole organ is removed. A lab technician is sampling on her own and her contribution to a good result can be either positive or negative. Imprint preparations from the tissue sections can be useful. Specialized examination should be performed in the presence of a pathologist or his co-workers. The active approach of a lab technician can significantly contribute to the value of examined sample of the spleen, of the organ until recently considered to be not important or full of mysteries.
