[Histonet] Submission of tonsils to pathology

[Horn, Hazel V]

Generally all are gross only.  There are some exceptions depending on patient history or if one is significantly larger than the other the pathologists have the discretion to do a microscopic.

What is your policy on the submission of tonsils to pathology for examination (gross or microscopic)?  Thank you.
