GROSS DESCRIPTION
a 4.8 x 0.7 cm appendix, up to 10.5 cm of attached mesentery with two
stapled mesenteric vascular margins (inked black), and partial omentum
(17.5 x 8.5 x 2.5 cm). The serosa is tan-pink, smooth and glistening with
a slight retraction at the proximal ascending colon (inked blue). The
mesentery and omentum are tan-yellow, focally hemorrhagic, glistening and
lobulated.
The specimen is opened lengthwise to reveal a slightly raised, tan-pink to
red mass (2.6 cm in length x 2.3 cm in width) with a slightly depressed
center corresponding to the retracted serosa. The mass comes to within
1.7 cm of the ileocecal valve, 8.2 cm of the proximal margin, and 18.9 cm
of the distal margin. Sectioning the mass reveals superficial invasion of
the muscularis propria with no extension to the serosa or mesentery. The
mass comes to within 0.2 cm of the nearest serosal surface and 9.2 cm of
the nearest mesenteric vascular margin.
The remaining mucosa is tan-pink, glistening, and normally folded with
a 0.7 x 0.6 cm tan-pink sessile polyp on the ileocecal valve and a
1.2 x 0.5 x 0.3 cm tan-pink, rubbery, smooth surfaced nodule at the
distal ascending colon approximately 1.8 cm from the distal margin.
The remaining ileocecal valve appears slightly granular. Sectioning
the ileocecal valve polyp reveals no grossly identifiable invasion.
Sectioning the nodule reveals no grossly identifiable invasion.
Sectioning the appendix reveals a single pinpoint lumen lined by a
tan-pink, unremarkable mucosa. A single possible diverticulum is noted
at the distal tip. No lesions, perforations, or fecaliths are grossly
identified.
Sectioning the omentum reveals yellow, focally hemorrhagic, lobulated
adipose tissue with no lesions or nodules grossly identified. Dissection
of the attached mesentery reveals multiple possible lymph nodes, ranging
from 0.1-0.7 cm in greatest dimension. Representative sections are
submitted in cassettes A1-A16.
Summary of sections:
A1: Proximal margin and representative distal margin-en face, 3/1
A2: Entire ileocecal valve polyp, 2/1
A3: Uninvolved ileocecal valve, 2/1
A4: Entire distal ascending colon polyp, 2/1
A5: Appendix with longitudinal tip and possible diverticulum, 6/1
A6: Mesenteric vascular margin nearest the mass-en face, 1/1
A7: Remaining mesenteric vascular margin-en face, 2/1
A8: Mass to the nearest serosal surface, 2/1
A9-A10: Additional mass with adjacent uninvolved mucosa, 2/A9; 1/A10
A11: Fifteen intact lymph nodes, 15/1
A12: Ten intact lymph nodes, 10/1
A13: Three bisected lymph nodes, 6/1
A14: Three bisected lymph nodes, 6/1
A15: Two bisected lymph nodes, 4/1
A16: One sectioned lymph node, 4/1

COMMENT
MISMATCH REPAIR IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY
INTERPRETATION: Intact expression of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins MLH1,
MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2 (MMR proficient)
COMMENT : There is no immunohistochemical evidence of an MMR defect.
However, there are rare families that do have an MMR mutation that
results in a non-functional protein that retains its antigenicity.
Therefore, if there is a high index of suspicion based on clinical and
histologic criteria that the patient may have Lynch syndrome, genetic
counseling and possible additional testing can be performed.
Educational Note:
Individuals with germline mutations in one of the MMR genes are defined
as having Lynch syndrome. There are established clinical and histologic
criteria to help identify patients with increased risk for Lynch
syndrome as set forth in the revised Bethesda Guidelines. Using
immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect the loss of expression of mismatch
repair (MMR) genes is a complementary method to screen for individuals
with Lynch syndrome. IHC for four proteins including MLH1, MSH2, MSH6
and PMS2 are performed on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue. The
loss of MMR protein expression is defined as the absence of any nuclear
staining in the tumor cells with adequate nuclear staining of background
cells such as normal colonic epithelial cells and lymphocytes. If there
is loss of MMR expression, the immunohistochemical pattern can guide
additional testing if clinically indicated. Immunohistochemical staining
was performed and interpreted by Pathology Associates of St. XXXXXXX

GROSS DESCRIPTION
a 4.8 x 0.7 cm appendix, up to 10.5 cm of attached mesentery with two
stapled mesenteric vascular margins (inked black), and partial omentum
(17.5 x 8.5 x 2.5 cm). The serosa is tan-pink, smooth and glistening with
a slight retraction at the proximal ascending colon (inked blue). The
mesentery and omentum are tan-yellow, focally hemorrhagic, glistening and
lobulated.
The specimen is opened lengthwise to reveal a slightly raised, tan-pink to
red mass (2.6 cm in length x 2.3 cm in width) with a slightly depressed
center corresponding to the retracted serosa. The mass comes to within
1.7 cm of the ileocecal valve, 8.2 cm of the proximal margin, and 18.9 cm
of the distal margin. Sectioning the mass reveals superficial invasion of
the muscularis propria with no extension to the serosa or mesentery. The
mass comes to within 0.2 cm of the nearest serosal surface and 9.2 cm of
the nearest mesenteric vascular margin.
The remaining mucosa is tan-pink, glistening, and normally folded with
a 0.7 x 0.6 cm tan-pink sessile polyp on the ileocecal valve and a
1.2 x 0.5 x 0.3 cm tan-pink, rubbery, smooth surfaced nodule at the
distal ascending colon approximately 1.8 cm from the distal margin.
The remaining ileocecal valve appears slightly granular. Sectioning
the ileocecal valve polyp reveals no grossly identifiable invasion.
Sectioning the nodule reveals no grossly identifiable invasion.
Sectioning the appendix reveals a single pinpoint lumen lined by a
tan-pink, unremarkable mucosa. A single possible diverticulum is noted
at the distal tip. No lesions, perforations, or fecaliths are grossly
identified.
Sectioning the omentum reveals yellow, focally hemorrhagic, lobulated
adipose tissue with no lesions or nodules grossly identified. Dissection
of the attached mesentery reveals multiple possible lymph nodes, ranging
from 0.1-0.7 cm in greatest dimension. Representative sections are
submitted in cassettes A1-A16.
Summary of sections:
A1: Proximal margin and representative distal margin-en face, 3/1
A2: Entire ileocecal valve polyp, 2/1
A3: Uninvolved ileocecal valve, 2/1
A4: Entire distal ascending colon polyp, 2/1

COMMENT
MISMATCH REPAIR IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY
INTERPRETATION: Intact expression of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins MLH1,
MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2 (MMR proficient)
COMMENT : There is no immunohistochemical evidence of an MMR defect.
However, there are rare families that do have an MMR mutation that
results in a non-functional protein that retains its antigenicity.
Therefore, if there is a high index of suspicion based on clinical and
histologic criteria that the patient may have Lynch syndrome, genetic
counseling and possible additional testing can be performed.
Educational Note:
Individuals with germline mutations in one of the MMR genes are defined
as having Lynch syndrome. There are established clinical and histologic
criteria to help identify patients with increased risk for Lynch
syndrome as set forth in the revised Bethesda Guidelines. Using
immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect the loss of expression of mismatch
repair (MMR) genes is a complementary method to screen for individuals
with Lynch syndrome. IHC for four proteins including MLH1, MSH2, MSH6
and PMS2 are performed on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue. The
loss of MMR protein expression is defined as the absence of any nuclear
staining in the tumor cells with adequate nuclear staining of background
cells such as normal colonic epithelial cells and lymphocytes. If there
is loss of MMR expression, the immunohistochemical pattern can guide
additional testing if clinically indicated. Immunohistochemical staining
was performed and interpreted by Pathology Associates of St. XXXXXXX

This is the standard surgery for colon cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concerns.
As she has colon cancer, the standard surgery is removing the involved half of colon and the adjacent lymph nodes. That is her best chance of cure. And as you can see, three of the removed nodes were involved with cancer, so surgery would have been incomplete without this. We need > 12 nodes removed at the time of surgery and this has been achieved quite well in her.
As this is stage III, chemotherapy is recommended to reduced the risks of recurrence. I am sure her surgeon would refer her to a medical oncologist to discuss the same.
Hope this helps.

Yes hemoglobin dropped a bit
Detailed Answer:
Hemoglobin is usually low in colon cancer patients and this much after surgery is pretty common. Doesn't particularly indicate poor health. This can recover with iron and folate supplements.
Surgeon has to take out the adjacent nodes in totality, number is counted later by pathologists. This is required for disease control. As already 26 removed in her, it's a good number and surgery will be considered adequate in her. But chemotherapy also required to eradicate potential microscopic disease elsewhere.

the dr told XXXXXXX that they took out 7 lymph nodes and 2 had cancer. why 26 and does this mean no cancer in 23 nodes and when do think follow up should be with oncologist
thanks plus your professional thoughts on this case

Yes 23 nodes didn't have cancer
Detailed Answer:
Actually 26 nodes were removed, not 7, of which 23 were cancer-free. Surgeon removes the area containing the nodes. He can't tell the exact number immediately after the surgery. when pathologist examines the specimen, he finds out all the nodes and examines them. So only after the pathology report one can say exact number of nodes removed and how many involved with cancer.
Considering that surgery was probably on 7.02.19, an oncologist follow up is already due. As I have mentioned already, though it's stage III, results are good with adjuvant chemotherapy.
