Proper handling of nerve biopsies is crucial for accurate diagnosis. This guide provides essential procedures for surgical pathologists to ensure optimal specimen evaluation, even when referred to specialized labs.

Area of Science:

  • Neuropathology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Nerve biopsies require specialized handling often unfamiliar to general surgical pathologists.
  • Low volume of nerve biopsies in most labs leads to referral to specialized centers.

Observation:

  • Initial handling impacts reference lab evaluation, communication, and diagnostic timelines.
  • A College of American Pathologists survey identified a need for nerve biopsy handling education.
  • Clinical history and electrophysiologic data are vital for biopsy handling and interpretation.

Findings:

  • Understanding differential diagnoses aids in appropriate initial handling of peripheral nerve biopsies.
  • Guidelines for nerve biopsy handling and rationale for common studies are provided.
  • Specimen handling decisions should be tailored to clinical situations for diagnostic yield and speed.

Implications:

  • Improved understanding of nerve biopsy handling can enhance diagnostic accuracy.
  • Standardized guidelines can optimize turnaround times for nerve biopsy evaluations.
  • Better initial handling benefits both local and reference neuropathology laboratories.
