Excision hood of positive margins, despite a lack of correlation may be performed via two techniques: either as a single between segment numbers and excised volume. These lumpectomy specimen or as a central segment with findings suggest that excision of simultaneous PSs may simultaneously resected peripheral segments (PSs).
