Patient age, gender, type of biopsy, and lesion location were well\u2010documented across request forms (100%, 100%, 99.1%, and 96.6%, respectively).

Prior treatment status, radiotherapy history, and immunosuppression status were rarely noted (&lt;\u20090.5%). Of 635 excisional specimens, only 16.4% were marked with sutures or ink. Histopathologic features were inconsistently documented in BCC pathology reports. Histologic subtype was reported in 24.7% of all cases, with significantly higher rates in excisional specimens (29.3%) compared to incisional (8.5%) and punch specimens (13.2%) (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.00001).
