Introduction: The description of the Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma and the explantation surgery resulted in an increase of histopathological exams in breast implant removing surgery. Methods: 251 pathology requests were studied. The following data from the medical requests were analyzed: gender, age, type of surgery, number of specimens containers sent, laterality, anatomical and spatial location, clinical history, signs and symptoms, previous radiotherapy, previous chemotherapy, diagnostic hypothesis, previous surgeries, and reference to previous breast exams. Results: The mean age was 43 years old. Laterality was not mentioned in 16 requests. The surgery performed was mentioned in 15.94% requests. The number of containers varies from 1 to 5, with a median of 2. The containers include capsules in 242 cases, 161 as isolated capsule, 27 mammary tissue, and capsule in the same specimen, 54 mammary tissues sent in a separate container, anatomical and spatial location was mentioned in 6.33% cases. The detailed clinical data was included in 19.12%, signs and symptoms 13.94%, contracture as the only item mention in 64 of them. In 27 requests, lymphoma evaluation was requested. 15 included seroma and from nine of those, liquid was sent with a request for immunohistochemical and cytology analysis. None of the requests had any data on implant type or brand. Conclusion: The amount of information contained in the medical request forms is minimal. The authors recommend the need for a protocol to standardize the surgical removal of the capsule and the adjacent mammary tissue. Surgical specimens should be spatially oriented.

ABSTRACT - BACKGROUND: At least 12 lymph nodes (LNs) should be examined following surgical resection of colon cancer. As it is difficult to find small LNs, fat clearing fixatives have been proposed, but there is no consensus about the best option. AIM: The objective of this study was to verify if Carnoy's solution (CS) increases the LN count in left colon cancer specimens. METHODS: A prospective randomized trial (clinicaltrials.gov registration: NCT02629315) with 60 patients with left colon adenocarcinoma who underwent rectosigmoidectomy. Specimens were randomized for fixation with CS or 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF). After dissection, the pericolic fat from the NBF group was immersed in CS and re-dissected (Revision). The primary endpoint was the total number of LNs retrieved. RESULTS: Mean LN count was 36.6 and 26.8 for CS and NBF groups, respectively (p=0.004). The number of cases with <12 LNs was 0 (CS) and 3 (NBF, p=0.237). The duration of dissection was similar. LNs were retrieved in all cases during the revision (mean: 19, range: 4-37), accounting for nearly 40% of the LNs of this arm of the study. After the revision, no case was found in the NBF arm with <12 LNs. Two patients had metastatic LNs during the revision (no upstaging occurred). CONCLUSION: Compared to NBF, CS increases LN count in colon cancer specimens. After conventional pathologic analysis, fixing the pericolic fat with CS and performing a second dissection substantially increased the number of LNs.
RESUMO - RACIONAL: Pelo menos 12 linfonodos (LNs) devem ser examinados após a ressecção cirúrgica do câncer de cólon. Como é difícil encontrar LNs pequenos, fixadores de clareadores de gordura foram propostos, mas não há consenso sobre a melhor opção. OBJETIVO: Verificar se a solução de Carnoy (SC) aumenta o número de LNs obtidos em espécimes de câncer de cólon esquerdo. MÉTODOS: Ensaio prospectivo randomizado (clinictrials.gov: NCT02629315) com 60 pacientes com adenocarcinoma de cólon esquerdo submetidos à retossigmoidectomia. As amostras foram randomizadas para fixação com SC ou formalina tamponada neutra a 10% (NBF). Após a dissecção, a gordura pericólica do grupo NBF foi imersa em SC e redissecada (Revisão). O endpoint primário foi o número total de LNs recuperados. RESULTADOS: O número médio de LNs foi de 36,6 e 26,8 para os grupos CS e NBF, respectivamente (p=0,004). O número de casos com <12 LNs foi 0 (CS) e 3 (NBF, p=0,237). A duração da dissecção foi semelhante. LNs foram recuperados em todos os casos durante a revisão (média de 19, intervalo: 4-37), representando quase 40% dos LNs deste braço do estudo. Após a revisão, nenhum caso no braço NBF permaneceu com <12 LNs. Dois pacientes tiveram LNs metastáticos encontrados durante a revisão (não ocorreu upstaging). CONCLUSÃO: Em comparação com NBF, a SC aumenta a contagem de LNs em espécimes de câncer de cólon. Após a análise patológica convencional, a fixação da gordura pericólica com SC e a realização de uma segunda dissecção aumentaram o número de LNs.
Résumé
Cervical thymic cysts are relatively rare benign cystic lesions that tend to be diagnosed clinically as branchial cysts, which usually present as painless, enlarging neck masses. They can occur anywhere along the normal path of descent of thymic primordia from the angle of the mandible to the sternal notch, with mediastinal extension observed in approximately 50% of cases. They are usually seen in the first decade of life on the left side with a male predominance. Here we report a case of a 15-year-old boy who presented to the hospital with left-sided neck swelling for about 2 months. The neck's contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) revealed a large, well-defined cystic swelling in the left neck region, showing peripheral enhancement, seen from the submandibular region to the superior mediastinum extending into the retrosternal region. Direct fine needle aspiration (FNA) was done, which showed a benign lesion with inflammatory and cystic characteristics, leading to the possibility of a branchial cyst. The cyst was completely excised surgically. Histopathology showed a thymic cyst with parathyroid tissue. The presence of thymic tissue with Hassall's corpuscles is essential for the diagnosis. Knowledge of the clinical presentation, cyto-histological findings, and differential diagnosis of cystic cervical lesions in the pediatric population is important to diagnose this rare entity. Hence, though uncommon, when one comes across a cystic cervical region mass in children, a diagnosis of cervical thymic cyst should be kept in mind. Nonetheless, a definitive diagnosis depends on imaging findings as well as intraoperative findings and histopathological examination.

Abstract Bone and soft tissue sarcomas consist of a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin that can affect patients from any age. The precise staging of these lesions determines the best therapeutic strategies and prognosis estimates. Two staging systems are the most frequently used: the system proposed by the University of Florida group, led by Dr. William F. Enneking (1980) and adopted by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS), and the system developed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) (1977), currently in its 8th edition (2017). This paper updates the reader on the staging of bone and soft tissue sarcomas affecting the musculoskeletal system.
Resumo Os sarcomas ósseos e das partes moles consistem em grupo heterogêneo de neoplasias malignas de origem mesenquimal que podem ocorrer em qualquer faixa etária. O estadiamento preciso destas lesões determina as melhores estratégias terapêuticas e estimativas de prognóstico. Dois sistemas de estadiamento são os mais frequentemente empregados no manejo destas neoplasias: o sistema proposto pelo grupo da Universidade da Flórida, liderado pelo Dr. William F. Enneking (1980), adotado pela Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) e o sistema desenvolvido pela American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) (1977) que se encontra em sua 8a edição (2017). O presente artigo busca atualizar o leitor a respeito do estadiamento dos sarcomas ósseos e das partes moles que acometem o sistema musculoesquelético.

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma, recently defined in the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of lymphoid neoplasms. It occurs more commonly when textured implants are used and appears clinically as a late seroma. Cytologically, these lesions are composed of large atypical cells with pleomorphic nucleus and an immunophenotype positive for T cell markers and CD30, and negative for ALK1. We report a 56-years-old woman with breast implants who developed a periprosthetic seroma three years after surgery. A fine needle aspiration of the lesion was carried out. Cytology and the immunocytochemical study revealed cells compatible with BIA-ALCL. The flow cytometric study was negative. Excisional biopsy of the capsule was performed, observing that the neoplastic cells were confined to the inner surface of the capsule. Imaging studies did not find evidence of disseminated disease. The present case demonstrates the importance of the study of any late periprosthetic effusion, which can be performed using fine needle aspiration.

To detect the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of composite pheochromocytoma(CP). Five cases of CP were collected at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2011 to January 2019. The clinical, radiological, histologic, immunohistochemical and outcome data were analyzed; the diagnosis and differential diagnosis were discussed. The patients' age range was 52-68 years (mean 59 years, median 54 years), There were 4 males and 1 female, and the male to female ratio was 4∶1. Tumor size was 3-4 cm (mean 3.6 cm, median 3.5 cm). The most common clinical manifestation was adrenal mass. Histologically, the classical feature was two distinct morphologic components, one with tumor cells arranged in irregular nests, and with fine granular and basophilic oramphophilic cytoplasm; the other was composed of scattered ganglion cells in the background of Schwann cells organized in interwoven bundles. The components of pheochromocytoma expressed PHOX2B(5/5), synaptophysin (5/5), CgA (5/5), the sustentacular cells expressed S-100 protein; the components of ganglioneuroma expressed S-100 protein (5/5), NF (5/5), the ganglion cells were weakly positive for PHOX2B, synaptophysin and CgA. All the cases were surgically resected and all patients were free of recurrence at follow-up. CP is rare adrenal tumor, and it has typical histologic features but no specific clinical manifestations. Attention should be paid to its characteristic histomorphology with the use of PHOX2B, CgA, synaptophysin and S-100 protein immunohistochemistry that is helpful for its diagnosis.

Objective: To investigate the accuracy of MRI measurement of early cervical carcinoma invasion depth of stroma. Methods: Preoperative MRI data, including T2WI, DCE-MRI and DWI of 66 early cervical cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed. The maximum depth of cervical interstitial invasion was measured on MRI. The tumors were divided into infiltrating type (including deep infiltrating and two-way infiltrating)and intraluminal growth type. The consistency of MRI measurements and pathological results were analyzed, and the difference values of the maximum depth of cervical interstitial invasion measured by 3 kinds of MRI and pathological results were compared. Results: Among 66 patients, deep infiltrating was observed in 31 cases, two-way infiltrating in 17 and intraluminal growth type carcinoma in 18 cases. The maximum depth of cervical stromal infiltration measured on T2WI, DCE-MRI and DWI were all moderately consistent with pathological results (ICC=0.66, 0.57 and 0.60, all P0.05). MRI measurement of invasive tumors, especially for those with deep infiltrating had superior consistent with pathological results than that of intraluminal growth tumors. Conclusion: MRI has good accuracy in measuring the depth of interstitial invasion of early cervical cancer, for tumors with deep infiltrating is better than for intraluminal growth type tumors.

ABSTRACT Purpose: The 8th edition of the TNM has been updated and improved in order to ensure a high degree of clinical relevance. A major change in prostate includes pathologically organ - confined disease to be considered pT2 and no longer subclassified by extent of involvement or laterality. The aim of this study was to validate this major change. Materials and Methods: Prostates were step - sectioned from 196 patients submitted to radical prostatectomy with organ confined disease (pT2) and negative surgical margins. Tumor extent was evaluated by a semiquantitative point count method. The dominant nodule extent was recorded as the maximal number of positive points of the largest single focus of cancer from the quadrants. Laterality was considered as either total tumor extent (Group 1) or index tumor extent (Group 2). Time to biochemical recurrence was analyzed with the Kaplan - Meier product limit analysis and prediction of shorter time to biochemical recurrence with Cox proportional hazards model. Results: In Group 1, 43 / 196 (21.9%) tumors were unilateral and 153 / 196 (78.1%) bilateral and in Group 2, 156 / 196 (79.6%) tumors were unilateral and 40 / 196 (20.4%) bilateral. In both groups, comparing unilateral vs bilateral tumors, there was no significant clinicopathological difference, and no significant association with time as well as prediction of shorter time to biochemical recurrence following surgery. Conclusions: Pathologic sub - staging of organ confined disease does not convey prognostic information either considering laterality as total tumor extent or index tumor extent. Furthermore, no correlation exists between digital rectal examination and pathologic stage.

Objective@#To evaluate the role of histologicalpathology in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection.@*Methods@#A total of 145 cases of joint arthroplasty during October 2017 and October 2018 from Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were collected. There were 23 cases of infection, including knee joint arthroplasty (12 cases) and hip arthroplasty (11 cases). There were 17 females and 6 males. Patients′ age ranged from 39 to 76 years (mean 63 years). The infection was diagnosed if there were >5 neutrophils per high power field in at least 5 high power field. The permanent sections were examined twice separately by two pathologists, and the interval time of histologic examination was at least two weeks. Sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), positive predictivevalue (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated. The consistency evaluation of histologic examination of two pathologists was calculated by Kappa analysis.@*Results@#The neutrophil cells could locate scattered or focally in the synovium tissue of periprosthetic joint infection. Somewhere, the infiltration of vessel and the perivascular distribution could also exist. Opportunity coincidence rate between two pathologists was 91.3% (Kappa=0.817). The results showed that SE was 60.9%, SP was 100.0%, NPV was 93.1%, PPV was 100.0%.@*Conclusions@#The presence of polymorphonuclear cells in histologic examination is correlated with infection. There was high consistency between histologic examination and clinical diagnosis of joint arthroplasty.

Objective To evaluate the local recurrence rate,limb function and complications of soft tissue sarcoma of thigh after muscle group resection.Methods Between January 2009 and August 2016,twenty-threepatients who were diagnosed as soft tissue sarcoma for the first time in our hospital,receiving thigh quadriceps muscle group resection,adductor muscle group resection or posterior compartment of the thigh resection were incorporated into this study.Patients who had received surgery of this lesion before,suffered from recurrent soft tissue tumor,had tumor involved multiple muscle groups which could not be resected completely,had sciatic nerve or femoral artery or vein affected by tumor or had distal metastasis were excluded.This retrospective study consisted of 12 male and 11 female.The age ranged from 20-80 with the average of 52.All the patients received CT and MRI of thigh to figure out the size of tumor,the invaded extension of the lesion and the specific muscle group involved.Chest CT scan and ultrasound of bilateral inguinal lymph nodes were arranged to exclude the tumor metastases.After all these examinations were done,needle biopsy with the guidance of CT scan was performed for the pathological diagnosis.The pathology included undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (7 cases),rhabdomyosarcoma (2 cases),primitive neurotodermal tumor (1 case),synovial sarcoma (1 case),leiomyosarcoma (3 cases),fibrosarcoma (5 cases) and liposarcoma (4 cases).Sixpatients received quadriceps muscle group resection,eightpatients received adductor muscle group resection and the other 9 patients received posterior compartment of the thigh resection.Patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma,leiomyosarcoma,primitive neurotodermal tumor and synovial sarcoma received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.None of patients received radiotherapy.After surgery,drainage tube of negative pressure was placed until the volume of drainage was less than 50 ml within 24 h.The affected thigh was bound up tightly.Intravenous antibiotics were used for 3 days to prevent from postoperative infections.Patients received quadriceps muscle group resection stayed in the bed for 4 weeks.After that they could walk with the protection of orthosis with unbending position.Other patients got out of bed after 2 weeks.All the complications after surgery were recorded.Reexaminations were arranged in 3,6,12 and 24 months after surgery separately.After that,reexamination was arranged every half a year.Chest CT scan was used to detect lung metastasis and ultrasound or MRI was arranged for local recurrence.Lower limb function after surgery was evaluated by MSTS scores.Results All the surgeries of muscle group excision were successfully completed.The duration of surgery ranged 1.5-3.5 h with the average of 2.2 h.The bleeding volume during surgery ranged 100-1 100 mL with the average of 313 mL.The follow-up was a mean of 41 months (range,17-108 months).None was lost to follow-up.The local recurrence rate was 4.3% (1/23).One patient with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma had positive surgical margin,who received posterior compartment of the thigh resection.Local recurrence occurred 6 months after surgery.Then he received expanded resection.Six patients had distant metastases,five patients for lung metastases,one patient for lung and inguinal lymph node metastases.Of these,five patients had died and one lived with the metastasis.The median MSTS score was 26.3 points (range,14-30 points).Specifically,the median musculoskeletal tumor society (MSTS) score was 28 points (range,21-30 points) for 9 patients with posterior compartment of the thigh resection,twenty-nine points (range,27-30 points) for 8 patients with adductor muscle group resection,and 20.3 points (range,14-24 points) for 6 patients with quadriceps muscle group resection.Five patients had complications,including local recurrence (1 case),hematoma (2 cases) and cutaneous necrosis (2 cases),all of which were settled by reoperation.The rate of complication was 21.7%.Conclusion Muscle group resection is an effective surgical treatment for soft tissue sarcoma of thigh,which could reduce the risk of local recurrence,apart from quadriceps muscle group resection,the other two muscle group resections have limited impact on lower limb function,additionally,thigh muscle group resection is a safe procedure with few complications.
Résumé
Objective To analyze the prognostic influencing factors of pulmonary adenocarcinoma with a micropapillary pattern (MPPAC).Methods A total of 109 MPPAC patients who received surgical operation in Shandong Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from August 2012 to August 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The median survival time and the survival rate of 1-,3-and 5-year were calculated by using Kaplan-Meier method,log-rank test was used for single-factor analysis and Cox regression analysis was used for multiple-factor analysis.Results The median overall survival time of 109 MPPAC patients was 55.0 months (3-67 months).The overall survival rate of 1-,3-and 5-year was 89.0%,61.5%,48.6%,respectively.Single factor analysis showed that the gender (x2 =7.208,P =0.007),the tumor size (x2 =24.083,P < 0.01),lymph node metastasis (x2 =23.068,P < 0.01),vascular tumor thrombosis (x2 =16.411,P < 0.01),visceral pleural infiltration (x2 =18.438,P < 0.01) and multiple tumors (x2 =28.563,P <0.01) were associated with the overall survival of MPPAC patients.Multiple factor analysis showed that the tumor size (RR =1.629,95% CI 1.145-2.317,P =0.007),lymph node metastasis (RR =1.680,95% CI 1.161-2.430,P =0.006) and vascular tumor thrombosis (RR =2.867,95% CI 1.286-6.392,P =0.010) were the independent prognosis factors for MPPAC patients.Conclusion The MPPAC patients have a poor prognosis.The tumor size,lymph node metastasis and vascular tumor thrombosis could influence the prognosis of MPPAC patients.
Résumé
Objective@#To characterize clinicopathological characteristics of the non-neoplastic colorectal polyps for accurate diagnosis.@*Methods@#1 190 cases were collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2012 to December 2016 and their clinicopathological characteristics were reviewed.@*Results@#There were 746 males and 444 females patients with male/female ratio of 1.7∶1.0. The average age was 52 and 85.4% (1 016/1 190) of cases were over 40 years old. A total of 1 289 polyps were found in the study cohort including 1 238 inflammatory polyps (96.0%), 47 harmartomatous polyps (3.7%) and 4 other types of polypoid lesions (0.3%). Among 1 249 inflammatory polyps, 1 212 were inflammatory pseudopolyps (97.9%), 15 post-inflammatory polyps (1.2%), 8 inflammatory myoglandular polyps (0.6%), and 3 prolapse-type inflammatory polyps (colitis cystica profunda). Among 47 hamartomatous polyps, there were 39 juvenile polyps (83.0%), 8 Peutz-Jegher polyps (17.0%). Four polypoid lesions of endometriosis. Among 1 289 polyps, 751 polyps were located in sigmoid and rectum (58.3%). 168 polyps were pedunculated (12.9%) and 1 132 polyps were sessile (87.1%).@*Conclusions@#For non-neoplastic colorectal polyps, the average age of patients is 40 years. The polyps generally involve the sigmoid colon and rectum. The most common pathological type is inflammatory pseudopolyp and the most common pathological type of hamartomatous polyp is juvenile subtype.
