Abstract
Many publications confirm the general belief that the ambiguous or equivocal lymph node presents one of the hardest and commonest problems in histopathological practice. Those cited below are retrospective analyses of abnormal lymph nodes in the course of which, we may note, almost all the observers emphasise that their reassessments were carried out ‘blind’. This acknowledges the fact that the greater the histological difficulty, the greater the need to avoid the bias induced by foreknowledge of circumstances.
