anatomic landmark

Any anatomic feature—a fold, prominence, duct, vessel, etc.—consistently present in a tissue that serves to indicate a specific structure or position. Anatomic landmarks are used by surgical pathologists for specimen orientation and when lost (e.g., by tumour or trauma), make assessment of margin clearance or involvement by malignancy difficult.

an·a·tom·ic land·mark
