	*‡ If the tissue is studded with too many lesions to count this is impractical. Practically, ~~three~~ or ~~four~~ lesions is a reasonable limit; if more lesions are present the focus should be on (1) the largest lesions, (2) the distance to the margins for the largest lesions and the closest (smaller) lesion(s).		*‡ If the tissue is studded with too many lesions to count this is impractical. Practically, four or five lesions is a reasonable limit; if more lesions are present the focus should be on (1) the largest lesions, (2) the distance to the margins for the largest lesions and the closest (smaller) lesion(s).
