SURGICAL PATHOLOGY FINAL
SOURCE OF TISSUE:
1. RIGHT BREAST SENTINEL NODE
2. RIGHT SENTINEL NODE
3. RIGHT BREAST MASS
4. RIGHT BREAST ADDITIONAL TISSUE
CLINICAL INFORMATION:
Rt. breast mass
INTRAOPERATIVE CONSULTATION:
1RFS: NEGATIVE FOR METASTASIS.
2RFS: NEGATIVE FOR METASTASIS
3RFS: INFLTRATING CARCINOMA
4RFS: NEGATIVE FOR METASTASIS
GROSS EXAMINATION:
1. The specimen is received fresh for frozen section labeled "rt. breast sentinel node" and consists of a 2 x 1.5 cm. portion of fibroadipose tissue containing a single node. A representative section of this node is submitted in 1RFS; the rest of the node is sectioned and submitted entirely in 1A and 1B.
2. The specimen is received frest for frozed section labeled "rt. breast sentinel node" and consists of a 1 x 0.6 x 0.4 cm. tan/yellow node. Submitted entirely in 2RFS for frozen section.
3. The speciment is received fresh labeled "rt. breast mass" and consists of a 5.5 x 4 x 3 cm. portion of fibroadipose tissue with dense stroma. A short suture is tied to the "superior" margin, and double long suture is seen at the "lateral" margin. Dense white stroma extends to all of the margins. A distinct mass is not grossly identified; however, indistinct induration involving an approximate 0.8 cm. area is seen approximately 1 cm. from the deep margin and 0.8 cm from the inferior margin. This area of induration is 1.5 cm from the cuperior and lateral margins and 1 cm from the medial margin. Representative sections of the frozen sepcimen are labeled 3RFSA and 3RFSB; additional representative sections submitted in 3A-3H.
CASSETTE SUMMARY
3A, 3B - inferior margin
3C - area of induration, deep and inferior margin
3D - deep margin
3D - superior margin
GROSS EXAMINATION:
3F - superficial margin
3G - medial margin
3H - lateral margin
4. The specimen is received frest for frozen section labeled "rt. breast mass" and consists of a 3.8 x 1.5 x 1 cm. portion of fibroadipose tissue with a suture attached. The area of this suture is dyed black. The rest of the specimen is not linked. A representative section is in cassette 4FS for frozen section. Dense white stroma is seen through approximately half of the specimen. Representative sections are submitted in cassettes 4RFSA-4RFSC.
MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION:
1. Multiple sections show a benign lymph node with focal sinus histiocytosis and focal fatty infiltration. No evidence of malignancy is seen.
2. Multiple sections of the entire specimen show fibroadipose tissue with no evidence of lymph node.
3. The frozen section shows a somewhat ill-defined infiltrating malignant neoplasm measuring 0.9 x 0.6 cm. This area is infiltrated by small and partially spindling malignant neoplastic cells in the dense fibrous tissue. At the peripheral portion of the invasive duct carcinoma are multiple dilated ducts showing intraductal carcinoma, small cell type, with occasional centrol necrosis. Tumor cells are basically small in size with occasional focal areas of spindling transformation. No evidence of tubule formation is seen. Tumor cells show very few mitotic activities. Multiple sections from different areas of the specimen show no evidence of residual infiltrating duct carcinoma. All the sections show fibrocystic changes with occasional sclerosing adenosis.
4. Multiple representative sections and frozen section show benign breast tissue with focal areas of old hemorrhage, fibrosis and lymphocytic infiltrates. No evidence of malignancy is seen.
