Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of reporting of the Leibovich score (LS) by general pathologists at our centre by comparing the LS in their initial reports with the LS in subsequent review reports by our specialist urological pathologists. We also assessed whether a revision in the LS subsequently altered the risk group.
Patients And Methods: In all, 54 consecutive patients had had their initial histology after nephrectomy reported by a general pathologist between August 2008 and March 2012.
