Histopathological examination method of a punch biopsy specimen suspicious for basal cell carcinoma. Schematic overview of the histopathological examination process. The dimensions of the punch biopsy specimen might be smaller than depicted in this figure because of shrinkage after formalin fixation and histologic processing, embedding, and mounting. X: These sections are stained with hematoxylin-eosin and used for histopathological examination. In the initial sections it is unknown which slices are stained and examined.
