The records of 739 patients were reviewed to identify factors associated with attaining a specific pathologic diagnosis. Only 456 (62%) of patients received a specific pathologic diagnosis, which was significantly associated with histologic biopsy samples, immunohistochemical testing, and diagnosis outside of an academic center.
