          Abstract

          Histopathology is the science of slide analysis for the diagnostic and research purposes. However, sometimes the presence of certain artefacts in a microscopic section can result in misinterpretations leading to diagnostic pitfalls that can result in increased patient morbidity. This article reviews the common artefacts encountered during slide examination alongside the remedial measures which can be undertaken to differentiate between an artefact and tissue constituent.

            Artifacts in oral biopsy specimens.

            More than proper surgical technique is required to facilitate the proper diagnosis of an oral biopsy specimen. The proper preparation of the tissue for microscopic analysis depends on steps taken by the surgeon, assistant, and histotechnician to reduce the inclusion of artifacts. There are many ways that the exact interpretation of tissue specimens can be compromised. Unfortunately, many practitioners seem to be unaware of the extent of this problem, as well as how easily artifacts can be prevented.

              Artefacts created during oral biopsy procedures.

              Biopsy specimens removed from the oral cavity are often small, and there is high potential for causing artefacts at several stages: during removal, fixation, embedding, or staining. This report describes several of the most common artefacts created by erroneous handling of oral tissue and lists recommendations for preventing them.
