EXAMINATION OF: Cervical spine.
CLINICAL SYMPTOMS: Herniated disc.
FINDINGS: A single spot fluoroscopic film from the operating room is submitted
for interpretation. The cervical spine is not well demonstrated above the level of
the inferior aspect of C6. There is a metallic surgical plate seen anterior to the
cervical spine. The cephalic portion of the plate is at the level of C6 at its superior
endplate. That extends in an inferior direction, presumably anterior to C7;
however, there is not adequate visualization of C7 to confirm location. Density
overlies the C6-7 intervertebral disc space, suggesting the presence of a bone
plug in this area; however, again visualization is not adequate in this area. Further
evaluation with plain radiographs is recommended - Answers 72020-26, 722.0
This patient undergoes a gallbladder sonogram due to epigastric pain. The report
indicates that the visualized portions of the liver are normal. No free fluid noted

GROSS DESCRIPTION: Submitted in formalin, labeled with the patient's name
and "soleus muscle right leg," are multiple irregular fragments of tan, gray, and
brown soft tissue measuring 8 × 8 × 2.5 cm in aggregate. Multiple representative
