What would be wrong with just submitting the ground sample as one would
with a curetting or similar - that is if the pieces are small, submit
them for processing in a lens paper packet or one of those paper histo
bags, then scrape the pieces off the paper and embed into paraffin as
usual?  Perhaps I'm thrown off a bit by the part about embedding the
paper along with the tissue? Do you have some special requirement for
processing for IHC that makes it necessary to consider embedding the
paper?
