Popis: Background: The current standard-of-care pathology report relies only on lengthy written text descriptions without a visual representation of the resected cancer specimen. This study demonstrates the feasibility of incorporating virtual, three-dimensional (3D) visual pathology reports to improve communication of final pathology reporting. Materials and methods: Surgical specimens are 3D scanned and virtually mapped alongside the pathology team to replicate grossing. The 3D specimen maps are incorporated into a hybrid visual pathology report which displays the resected specimen and sampled margins alongside gross measurements, tumor characteristics, and microscopic diagnoses. Results: Visual pathology reports were created for 10 head and neck cancer cases. Each report concisely communicated information from the final pathology report in a single page and contained significantly fewer words (293.4 words) than standard written pathology reports (850.1 words, p
