Carcinoma in blocks A6-15, 17-22, 27-47
DETAIL TEST SPGD
A. "Left breast needle localization excision", received fresh and placed in
formalin. A breast lumpectomy with overlying 7 x 1.1 cm ellipse of skin
remarkable for a 2 cm long well-healed scar is oriented long suture-lateral
and short suture-superior. The specimen measures 9.2 (ML) x 7.4 (AP) x 4.9 (SI)
and is inked superior-yellow, inferior-red, anterior-blue and
posterior-black. Sectioning from medial to lateral demonstrates a 3.0 x 2.2 x
1.3 cm biopsy cavity surrounded by induration, hemorrhage and fat necrosis.
The biopsy cavity is located 1.6 cm from the medial, 3.6 cm from the lateral,
1.0 cm from the anterior (skin), 0.7 cm from the anterior, 2.0 cm from the
posterior, 1.5 cm from the inferior, and 2.5 cm from the superior margins.
Representative sections are submitted in blocks A1-50 from medial to lateral.
B. "Left axillary contents", received fresh and placed in formalin is an
unoriented 11.5 x 8.7 x 3.1 cm aggregate of yellow-tan fibrofatty tissue
dissected for lymph nodes.
B1-6 lymph node candidates
B7- one lymph node bisected
B8- one lymph node bisected
B9-10 one lymph node sectioned

PROCEDURE: Left breast needle localization excision and axillary lymph node
dissection.
PATHOLOGIC STAGE: ypT3 pN3a pMX
NOTE: Information on pathology stage and the operative procedure is
transmitted to this Institution's Cancer Registry as required for
accreditation by the Commission on Cancer. Pathology stage is based solely
upon the current tissue specimen being evaluated, and does not incorporate
information on any specimens submitted separately to our Cytology section,
past pathology information, imaging studies, or clinical or operative
findings. Pathology stage is only a component to be considered in determining
the clinical stage, and should not be confused with nor substituted for it.
The exact operative procedure is available in the surgeon's operative report.
