The purpose of this document is to ensure all lipoma specimens are described and dissected properly so that a diagnosis can be issued. Please refer to local standard operating procedures (SOP) for complete details.

The learner is expected to apply some elements of the content learned in part 1 in the grossing of the simulation specimens.
Note: If the learner is unsure of the next steps during the simulation workshop, they should ask questions and/or seek help.
After reviewing the relevant readings, images, and SOPs and finishing the Introduction to Grossing Workshop, the learner will:
Confirm patient identification, specimen type, and alpha designation for the specimen
Read the provided clinical history
Select and wear the appropriate PPE for the grossing of the simulation specimens.
Set up an organized grossing bench for the grossing of simulation specimens.
Follow and apply patient, specimen and tissue cassette identification procedures.

Gross a simulated lipoma using the lipoma SOP
Select the correct processing time for a lipoma
Demonstrate the safe setup, cleaning and discard of sharps (scalpel and feather blades)
Clean the grossing bench between specimens and apply steps to limit cross-contamination between specimens.
Determine when they are unsure of the next steps and ask questions/seek help.
