Would you expect a pathology report to be available for lesion that was removed by destruction?
No, a pathology report would not typically be available for a lesion that was removed by destruction.
A pathology report is a detailed account of the microscopic examination of a tissue sample, usually obtained through a biopsy or surgical procedure. It provides information about the type of cells present in the tissue, any abnormalities, and a diagnosis.
When a lesion is removed by destruction, such as through electrocautery or laser therapy, the tissue is vaporized or destroyed and is therefore not available for microscopic examination. As a result, a pathology report cannot be generated.
