Case 1


39F pancreatic body mass. Iac0 Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm.

Case 2


57M. Pancreatic head cyst. Iac0 Small mature lymphocytes consistent with lymphangioma.

Case 3


33M. History of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Now with pancreatic body mass. Iac0 Metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma

Case 4


40-year-old female pancreatic cyst fluid. CEA 8887 ng/mL. Iac0 Neoplastic mucinous cyst. Resection - Invasive adenocarcinoma arising in a mucinous cystic neoplasm with ovarian type stroma and dysplasia including high grade dysplasia.

Case 5


60F. Pancreatic and abdominal wall mass. Iac0 Epithelioid gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) with succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) deficiency.

Case 6


57 yo man with a newly identified pancreatic head mass. Cfh13 Positive for malignant cells. Adenocarcinoma.

Case 7


84 y.o male with very large 9 cm abdominal mass occupying the head and body of the pancreas. Sxm Serous cyst adenoma.

Case 8


60 y.o female with a cyst in the uncinate process.

CEA0.6

Amylase 190
Sxm Consistent with serous cystadenoma. VHL mutation.

Case 9


16 mm multicystic mass in the pancreas tail. Sxm Serous cystadenoma.

-cuboidal nonmucinous cyst lining cells.

-PAS+ / dPAS-

Case 10


Pancreatic cyst. Sxm Serous cystadenoma

Case 11


59F with pancreatic mass and liver mass. Tz046 A. PANCREATIC HEAD MASS: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor grade 3. B. LIVER MASS CORE BIOPSY: Metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.

Case 12


2.5 cm cyst in the tail of the pancreas with mild septal enhancement Est105 Serous cystadenoma

Case 13


hx pancreatic mass Est105 adenocarcinoma

Case 14


hx pancreatic body mass Est105 acinar cell carcinoma

Case 15


51F pancreatic tail mass. 3y post-Whipple resection for benign pancreatic cyst. Iac0 Abundant neutrophilic inflammation with rare fungal organisms cytomorphologically consistent with Candida spp.

Case 16


71M. Pancreatic head cyst. Iac0 Acellular mucin with ferning pattern consistent with neoplastic mucinous cyst.

Case 17


60 yo F w/ liver lesion Ndk6 Adenocarcinoma c/w biliary origins

Case 139


31 yo M w/ cholangiocarcinoma Ndk6 Adenocarcinoma

Case 140


71M. Peripancreatic mass. History of thyroid carcinoma. Iac0 Metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Case 141


67-year-old man with pancreatic body cyst Lt511 Neoplastic mucinous cyst

Case 142


55 yo F w/ mass in tail of pancreas and history of leiomyosarcoma Ndk6 Malignant spindle neoplasm consistent with metastatic leiomyosarcoma

Case 143


81 yo M w/ painless jaundice Ndk6 SUSPICIOUS FOR MALIGNANT CELLS

High-grade biliary neoplasia.

Note: The specimen shows high-grade glandular epithelium in papillary clusters cribriforming groups and single cells. Mucinous cytoplasm is present. Background necrosis is not present. There is no subepithelial mucosa showing invasive glands but an invasive carcinoma cannot be excluded. The findings support a diagnosis of at least high-grade biliary intraepithelial neoplasia. Immunostains submitted for review show retained nuclear staining with SMAD4 and low ki-67 proliferation index.

Case 144


80 yo M w/ pancreas cyst Ndk6 A. FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION BIOPSY PANCREAS HEAD CYSTIC MASS: Adenocarcinoma associated with a high-grade papillary mucinous neoplasm.

B. PANCREAS HEAD CYSTIC MASS CORE BIOPSY: Adenocarcinoma. Note: Mucinous epithelium is present around and focally invasive of sclerotic stroma. Immunostains show the following profile: P53- wild-type staining SMAD4- wild-type staining P16- loss of nuclear staining supporting a mutation.

C. PANCREAS HEAD CYST FLUID: NEOPLASTIC: OTHER- Mucinous cyst with high-grade features at least high-grade dysplasia.

Case 145


76 yo F w/ dilated pancreatic duct signs of pancreatic divisum and fishmouth minor papilla pancreatic head cystic mass (28.6 mm x 17.4 mm) abutting/communicating with the pancreatic duct at the head of the pancreas Ndk6 A. PANCREAS HEAD CYSTIC MASS:

NEOPLASTIC: OTHER Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm low-grade. See note. Note: The aspirate and cellblock shows low-grade gastric-type mucinous epithelium without stroma. An H&E stain was prepared and reviewed in our laboratory to analyze unexamined tissue deeper in the block. In addition immunostains performed at MGH show the following profile: p53- wild -type p16- retained SMAD4- retained MTAP- retained

Correlation with imaging required. Any solid component or thick duct wall should be separately sampled.

Case 146


79 yo M w/ known pancreatic adenocarcinoma and new body/tail lesion Ndk6 A. PANCREAS FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION BIOPSY BODY/TAIL LESION:

NEOPLASTIC: OTHER- Mucinous cyst fluid with high-grade epithelial atypia.

Note: A mucinous etiology is established by cyst fluid CEA of 29 504 ng/mL and the high-grade mucinous epithelium. Background cellular necrosis is present. Invasive carcinoma is in the differential diagnosis.

Case 147


63 yo F with pancreatic head mass Ndk6 Adenocarcinoma

Case 149


78 yo F gallbladder mass FNA Ndk6 Adenocarcinoma
