[Histonet] Processing cystic tissue

Charles:
I usually get out as much of the cystic material as I can without damaging the cyst wall itself. That is all the docs are looking at anyway. I am assuming you are referring to skin cysts, not ovaries, etc.

Subject: [Histonet] Processing cystic tissue

Can anyone give me an idea how they process cystic tissues. THe normal
tissue processes extremely well on my current protocol but the cystic areas
just are too soft to cut. Any tricks anyone can provide to process better
or cut better after processing would be greatly appreciated
