General recommendations when sending a case: Please provide us with your complete or incomplete pathology report (including gross description), H&E glass slides, and pertinent special or IHC stains. The clinical diagnosis and radiographic appearance greatly aid in interpreting CNS disease. Please provide the pre-operative imaging report or CD with images with the case. If possible, historical and laboratory information would be greatly appreciated and may enhance the consultative opinion.
