Case 1


72 yo M with ileal mass - 3.1 cm encapsulated tan-white submucosal mass extruding. Mjf79 FX1 • 1A(RS mass): spindle cell neoplasm. Do not favor metastatic melanoma. Permanent: GIST • low-grade • spindle cell type

Case 2


74 Yo M with pancreatic tumor • presenting for whipple. You receive "liver lesion." Partial hepatectomy • inked black and sectioned. EF as FX1 • 1A. Mjf79 FX1 • 1A: hemangioma • negative for malignancy Permanent: hemangioma

Case 3


58 yo with h/o metastatic CRC. Appendix sent - sectioned to reveal 2.5 cm gray-white firm mass in the attached mesoappendix. RS-->FX1 • 1A. Proximal uninvolved appendix-->FX1B Mjf79 FX1 • 1A (RS mass): Adenocarcinoma involving periappendiceal soft tissue and appendiceal wall. Appendiceal mucosa is benign. No evidence of appendiceal primary. Permanent: metastatic adenocarcinoma c/w colon primary

Case 4


"Cholangiocarcinoma. (Slides 1-3): ""Right • left and common hepatic duct"" - oriented Y-shaped tubular portion of ST. Left hepatic duct shaved --> FX1 (1st slide) • Right hepatic duct shaved --> FX1A (2nd slide) • common hepatic duct shaved --> FX1B (3rd slide). Specimen opened to reveal a thickened fibrotic wall (up to 0.6 cm).

4th slide: ""jejunal margin of hepatojejunostomy"" - tubular ST • EF-->FX2 (4th slide).

5th slide: ""new proximal left duct margin"" - tubular ST • EF-->FX3 (5th slide)"
Mjf79 "FX1(left hepatic duct margin): Positive for malignancy.

FX1A(Right hepatic duct margin): high-grade dysplasia with concern for cancerization of duct. FX#1B(common hepatic duct margin): Adenocarcinoma. FX#2(jejunal margin of hepaticojejunostomy): c/w reactive atypia FX#3(new proximal duct margin): Positive for adenocarcinoma" "Permanent: FX1 (left and common hepatic duct margin): Invasive adenocarcinoma FX1A(Right hepatic duct margin): High-grade dysplasia FX1B(common hepatic duct margin): invasive adenocarcinom FX2(jejunal margin of hepaticojejunostomy): Small intestine with marked reactive atypia and acute and chronic inflammation. TINEM.

FX3(New proximal left duct margin): invasvie adenocarcinoma • best seen on FX slides."

Case 5


46 yo M with "carcinoid tumor of intestine." Portion of small bowel - 4.5 cm tan-white firm lesion with irregular borders within mesentery.
