Case 1


Whipple - pancreatic transection margin. Mjf79 Small neuroendocrine tumorlet (<0.5 cm) at margin. Discussed with surgeon. (not present on permanents)

Case 2


Whipple

FX1: Duodenal peritoneal nodule (1st slide) FX3: Cyst wall (2nd slide)

FX3A: Mass to uncinate margin (3rd slide)
Mjf79 FX1: Fibroadipose tissue with hyalinization no carcinoma seen. (permanent same)

FX3 (cyst wall): Fibrotic cyst wall with chronic inflammation negative for carcinoma. (Psuedocyst)

FX3A (mass to uncinate margin): High-grade carcinoma uncinate margin negative but comes to within 0.2 cm. (Recurrent undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclastic giant cells uncinate ngative)

Case 3


Pancreatic mass - whipple

FX1: pancreas transection margin FX2: Bile duct margin

FX3: Bile duct margin
Mjf79 FX1 (pancreas transection margin): TINEM

FX2: (bile duct margin): single highly atypical gland. Discussed with surgeon (permanent: eroded bile duct with rare atypical glands. The atypical glands are best seen on frozen section).

FX3 (bile duct margin): TINEM

Case 4


Pancreas tumor - whipple

FX1: pancreatic transection margin

FX1A: mass
Mjf79 FX1 (pancreatic transection margin): TINEM FX2 (mass): neuroendocrine tumor (permanent: neuroendocrine neoplasm low grade (G1)
