&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OVERVIEW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Anatomic pathology consultation involving wet tissue specimens refers to the examination and analysis of fresh or preserved tissue samples to diagnose diseases and guide treatment decisions. During this process, pathologists evaluate the tissue&#39;s structure, cellular composition, and any pathological changes through various techniques, including histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular diagnostics. The consultation typically involves detailed macroscopic and microscopic examinations, with pathologists providing expert opinions on diagnoses, prognoses, and treatment options. This type of consultation is crucial in complex cases, offering insights that can significantly influence patient management and outcomes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Fix entire explant specimen in formalin for at least 24 hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;After fixation, wrap the specimen in formalin-soaked paper towel, place it in a biohazard bag with a small amount of formalin, seal it, place it in another biohazard bag, and seal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;For enucleated eye:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
