The Dutch melanoma guideline advises to examine one central block of the re-excision scar in case of a complete primary excision. To increase the evidence for this recommendation, we re-evaluated how often residual melanoma was found in re-excision specimens of a large series of completely excised melanomas. Of 1,209 Dutch melanoma cases, pathology reports of primary excisions were reviewed. Presence of melanoma in the margins was scored. All melanomas with a complete primary excision were included and pathology reports of re-excisions were reviewed. Presence of residual melanoma in the re-excision specimen and the number of blocks were scored. Slides of re-excision specimens containing residual melanoma were reviewed. Eventually, in four out of 812 melanomas (0.5 %) with a complete primary excision, residual melanoma was found in the re-excision specimen. The free margins of the primary melanomas in these cases ranged from 0.5–3.5 mm. In one case, the margin for melanoma in situ was 0.2 mm. In <1 % of initially completely excised melanomas, residual melanoma was found in the re-excision specimen. Histopathological examination of these re-excision specimens may not be cost-efficient. Our findings even imply that a re-excision could safely be omitted in selected cases of completely excised melanomas. 相似文献

BackgroundThe management of benign and borderline phyllodes tumors of the breast with a positive surgical margin is still controversial. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the impact of surgical margin status on the local recurrence rate of benign and borderline phyllodes tumors.MethodsWe reviewed 205 phyllodes tumors (191 benign, 14 borderline) that were surgically excised at our hospital between 2005 and 2019. Follow-up information extending to at least 6 months after surgery was retrieved from the clinical, radiology, and pathology records.ResultsThe initial surgical margin was negative in 54 (26%) cases, close (≤ 1 mm) in 29 (14%) cases, and positive in 122 (60%) cases. Approximately half of the cases with a close margin and two-third of the cases with a positive margin underwent re-excision to obtain negative margins. Three (2.3%) local recurrences were observed among 131 cases with follow-up information, all three with benign phyllodes tumor. Of these three patients, one had a positive final margin, and two had negative final margins. There was no significant difference in the rate of local recurrence between PT with a positive surgical margin versus a close and negative margin.ConclusionThe study results suggest that close clinical and radiologic follow-up may provide a better course of management rather than re-excision when managing positive margins in benign and borderline phyllodes tumors. 相似文献

BackgroundPathologic examination of post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) breast surgical specimens includes assessment of margins. It has been recommended that tumor bed (TB) changes extending to margins should be documented; however, its' incidence and clinical significance have not yet been established. The aim of our study was to gather prognostic data on this histological finding.DesignWe retrospectively identified all cases where TB was reported at margin. Cases where margins were also positive for invasive carcinoma or DCIS were excluded.ResultsFrom 2016 to 2019, 115 cases of NAC treated breast cancers were identified with 21 having at least one margin positive for TB after initial surgery (incidence of 18.3 %). Five cases were estrogen receptor (ER)-/HER2-, 9 were HER2+ and 7 were ER+/HER2-. Nineteen patients underwent partial mastectomy and 2 underwent total mastectomy. Nine patients had a pathological complete response (pCR).Ten cases had more than one positive margin for TB. None of the 21 patients underwent a second surgery for margin re-excision. Twenty patients received adjuvant therapy. With an average follow-up of 28.1 months, there has been one local recurrence. Four other patients developed metastatic disease, one of which died of the disease. The rates of locoregional and distant recurrence and mortality were statistically similar to those from patients whose margins were negative for TB.ConclusionsOur results suggest low risk of local recurrence when a positive margin for TB is not re-excised. Further data and follow-up will be needed to confirm the adequacy of conservative management in this setting. 相似文献

BackgroundPhyllodes tumor (PT) accounts for <1% of all breast tumors worldwide. Based on their microscopic features, these tumors are classified into benign, borderline, and malignant. This study aimed at evaluating the clinical experience and the clinicopathologic features of PT.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of 46 female patients with histologically diagnosed PT. Data collection and evaluation was done on patient demographics, preoperative radiological assessment and pathology, surgical procedure, post-surgery pathological evaluation, radiation therapy (RT), and follow-up.ResultsThe median age at diagnosis was 42 years and young premenopausal patients (median age 35 years) had malignant PT. Forty-five patients underwent core needle biopsy (CNB) with high sensitivity and the positive predictive value (82.2% and 97.4% respectively). Thirty-nine patients (86.7%) underwent conservative surgery and 6 (13.3%) had a mastectomy. Twenty-seven (58.6%) were classified as benign, 11 (23.9%) as borderline and only 8 (17.4%) as malignant PT. Malignant PT had the greatest median tumor size (13 cm). Mortality and recurrence rates were 4.3% and 2.2% respectively. RT was administered in 6 patients (13.0%), 5 having malignant and 1 borderline PT. The metastatic rate was found to be 6.5%.ConclusionPT are rare breast tumors with variable biologic behavior and heterogenous clinicopathological findings. Young, premenopausal women with large tumors may have malignant PT with a risk of recurrence and metastasis. Core needle biopsy is a reliable tool for diagnosis of PT with strict follow-up recommended for large tumors diagnosed as fibroadenoma on CNB. Surgical management must ensure a tumor-free margin on excision to reduce recurrence. 相似文献

AIMS: We have developed a new method of breast resection margin assessment in quadrantectomy using an adjustable mould to prevent the three-dimensional specimen from distorting during fixation. METHODS AND RESULTS: The new method has been applied to 10 consecutive quadrantectomies (six invasive duct carcinomas, four duct carcinoma in situ with or without microinvasion). The precise configuration of the fixed specimen enabled pathologists to examine the side slices, the 5 mm thick slices cut parallel to the flat lateral margins of the specimen, permitting the separation of margin evaluation from tumour characterization. Eight cases with negative margins by our method would also be negative by assessment of inked margins since the margin widths were estimated to be from 5 to 30 mm (average 16.3 mm); two cases with positive margins would also be positive by inked margins. CONCLUSIONS: Our new method was as reliable as the inked margins employing sequential slicing of the entire tissue, although it reduced the number of blocks by more than half in invasive carcinomas. A further advantage of this method is that the accuracy in margin evaluation is not influenced by the extent of tumour sampling. In addition, our system can pinpoint the positive margins facilitating re-excision to obtain tumour-free margins. 相似文献

PurposeManagement of the radial scar (RS)/complex sclerosing lesion (CSL) diagnosed by core needle biopsy (CNB) in breast cancer screening population (BCSP) is controversial due to its intrinsic malignant potential. We aimed to determine (i) the rate of upgrade of the RS/CSL to malignant lesions and (ii) radiological characteristics and CNB histopathological findings of the lesions related to the upgrade of the RS/CSL to malignant lesions after surgical excision in our BCSP.Patients and methodsDatabase of Slovenian National Breast Cancer Screening Program was checked for terms RS/CSL in all patients who underwent CNB in the period 2008–2018. The ratios of upgrade from CNB RS/SCL to malignant lesions after surgical excision were calculated with specific interest to the radiological characteristics and the CNB patohistologically findings of the lesions.ResultsOf 162 patients with diagnosis of RS/CSL on the CNB, 121/156 (78%) cases underwent surgical excision. 6 of 121 (5%) cases were upgraded to a malignant diagnosis in surgical specimen, 3 cases of invasive carcinoma and 3 cases of DCIS, respectively. Five of the upgraded cases (5/6, 83.3%) showed atypical epithelial proliferative lesions (AEPL) on CNB. In one upgraded case without AEPL the lesion presented as 33 mm architectural distortion with microcalcifications on the mammogram.ConclusionsIn BCSP setting RS/CSL without AEPL/papilloma and those measuring less than 2 cm in the largest diameter can be followed radiologically. Increasing the number of cores and adequate sampling of the periphery and the centre of the RS/CSL improves the pick-up rate of associated atypia/malignancy. 相似文献

Summary Therapeutic and clinico-pathological data of 1,469 patients with clinical stage I malignant melanoma of the skin without histological evidence of fibrotic areas of regression were examined by multivariate regression analysis. In accordance with a previous analysis anatomical site of tumour, tumour thickness, level of invasion, mitotic rate, ulceration, lymphhocytic reaction, dominant type of invasive tumour cell, and sex were found to act as independent risk factors. The present analysis, furthermore, showed that size of resection margin, diagnostic biopsy, removal of the deep fascia, age at surgery, as well as presence and depth of nevus cells did not influence prognosis when adjusting for the independent risk factors. 相似文献

IntroductionWarty carcinoma (WC) of the uterine cervix is a rare subtype of squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC), and its frequency, clinical behaviour, and aetiology are obscure. It originates from condylomas, and a viral carcinogenesis seems logical.Material and methodsRetrospective analysis was performed of all cervical carcinomas (CC), diagnosed at a single institution for a 10-year period. Analysed patients had stage I carcinoma. Patients with WC were identified, and their tumour samples were tested for high-risk HPV (hr-HPV) and EBV, using PCR and ISH. Clinical characteristics and WC rates across all stage I CC patients were assessed. All patients had minimum 3-year follow-up, and overall survival (OS) and 5-year survival rates were calculated.ResultsWC comprised 2.2% of all stage I CC (n = 630). The mean age of the patients was 48 years (range: 29–72). The primary tumour size was 2 cm in 4 (28.6%) patients, 2–4 cm in 2 (14.3%) patients, and 4 cm in 8 (57.1%) patients. Lymph node metastasis was found in 1 (7.1%) patient. EBV or hr-HPV were detected in 2 (18.2%) patients using ISH, with no coinfection reported. Hr-HPV was detected in 2 (18.2%) patients; EBV in 4 (36.4%) cases, and in 2 of them (18.2%) there was a co-infection. Thirteen patients had a follow-up of ≥ 5 years and their 5-year OS was 100%.ConclusionsWC is a rare subtype of SCC with good prognosis, regardless of viral status. In contrast to SCC, its aetiology is not related to hr-HPV. The role of EBV remains unclear and cannot currently be denied. 相似文献

Local recurrence after lumpectomy for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a major concern and is related to residual disease in the breast. We studied the predictive value of lumpectomy margins for residual DCIS and compared our results and pathological processing techniques with those published in the literature. Margin status was determined for 89 patients with screen-detected DCIS who had lumpectomy and re-excision, for the presence and extent of residual disease. Margin width was defined as the narrowest distance between tumor and any inked margin or, where margins were positive, classified into focal involvement (<1 mm of the inked surface involved), minimal (>or=1<15 mm) and extensive (>or=15 mm). The amount of residual tumor was quantified according to the number of ducts involved with tumor: small (fewer than 10 ducts) or large (10 or more ducts) residuum. The initial margin status was a significant predictor for the presence of residual tumor in re-excision specimens (P=0.006). There was residual tumor in 44 and 45% of close non-involved (>1 and 25 mm,respectively, showing residual disease. The presence of residual tumor was not significantly related to age, mammographic appearance, nuclear grade or intraductal necrosis. The initial margin status was found to predict for the amount of residual tumor. With careful margin assessment, margin status after lumpectomy for DCIS can be used to predict for the presence and amount of residual tumor in the breast and is a guide to further management decisions. A standard for margin status reporting and pathological processing of screen-detected DCIS in situ lesions will help in the interpretation of data from different institutions. 相似文献

The proximal and distal bowel resection margins of 339 specimens of colorectal adenocarcinoma were examined for the presence of tumour. In only five cases was tumour found in a resection margin. In four of these cases macroscopic examination showed that the tumour extended to the resection margin. In the fifth case the tumour was present in the pericolic fat. These results and reported data on the intramural spread of colorectal cancer suggest that examination of bowel resection margins is unnecessary unless the tumour extends to within 2 cm of the resection margin. Examination of the deep radial margins of the tumour and slides to show other prognostic indicators would be a more effective use of histopathological resources. 相似文献

Current state of treatment for primary cutaneous melanoma 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Abstract.
The incidence of malignant melanoma has been rising steadily for the last 30 years. Through physician and patient education, surveillance of high-risk individuals, and biopsy of any suspicious lesions, more lesions are being diagnosed earlier, where there is a high cure rate. Unfortunately many patients will still present with thicker lesions or nodal involvement, which carries a significantly worse prognosis. Over the past decade, there have been several changes in the management of primary cutaneous melanoma. These have stemmed from novel surgical approaches, a new understanding of melanoma biology, and randomized clinical trials designed to improve outcome and decrease the morbidity of therapy. This article will review the clinical evidence behind the current treatment recommendations for primary cutaneous melanoma as well as some of the emerging data on innovative immunologic-approaches to melanoma treatment. 相似文献

BackgroundThere has been a growing public health burden of childhood tumours in low and middle income countries (LMICs) as the trend in epidemiological transition continues to vary.ObjectiveThe objective of this report is to determine the spectrum of childhood tumours at a tertiary hospital in Nigeria.MethodsA retrospective review of the histopathology register over the period January 2006 to December 2015.ResultsThe total paediatric tumour cases was 248, including 143 (57.7%) females and 105 (42.3%) males, aged 0 – 12 years (mean 6.1 years ± 3.97 SD). The age group 2 – 5 year cohort had the highest prevalence of tumour. The predominant tumour based on tissue of origin was epithelial neoplasms 88 (35.5%), vascular neoplasms 56 (22.6%), neural neoplasm 42 (16.9%), mesenchymal neoplasm 37 (14.9%), germ cell neoplasm 13 (5.2%) and haematopoietic neoplasms 12 (4.8%). Majority of the tumours were benign, 148 (59.7%) and malignant 100 (40.3%). The most predominant benign tumour was haemangioma 33 (13.3%) and predominant malignant tumour was lymphoma 22 (8.9%).ConclusionBenign tumours remain the commonest neoplasm of children in this hospital-based data. Development and implementation of a tumour registry would provide a more comprehensive information. 相似文献

IntroductionProstate cancer is the second commonest cancer in men worldwide. At present, every patient with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in St. Mary''s Hospital Lacor is undergoing prostate biopsy regardless of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) level. We sought to determine the association between PSA and malignant prostate histology.MethodsThis was a retrospective study. Data on age, PSA, prostate volume and prostate histology reported between Jan 2012 and Dec 2019 were retrieved from St. Mary''s Hospital Lacor archive and analyzed using STATA SE/13.0.ResultsRecords of 97 patients with LUTS was analyzed. The median (range) age of the patients was 71 (43–100) years. Median (range) of prostate volume was 91.8 (8.0–360.0) cc. Overall, PSA ranged from 0.21 to 399.2 ng/ml. Prostate histology showed 3.1% acinar adenocarcinoma, 24.7% adenocarcinoma and 72.2% benign prostatic hyperplasia. The median PSA amongst patients with malignant and non-malignant prostates were 15.8 ng/ml and 6.07 ng/ml respectively. Serum PSA level was significantly higher in patients with malignant prostate histology (Difference of mean= 9.7; p=0.001).ConclusionPatients with LUTS and PSA levels of 15ng/ml or more were more likely to have malignant prostate histology. 相似文献

The dissemination of tumour cells to the lymph nodes is a complex process involving the formation of new lymph vessels, or
lymphangiogenesis, produced by the tumour itself. The main growth factor involved in lymphangiogenesis is vascular endothelial
growth factor C (VEGF-C), which is secreted by several different malignant tumours, including melanoma. Not only has VEGF-C
expression been found in tumour cells, it has also been detected in tumour stromal cells like macrophages and fibroblasts.
This study aimed to determine whether the expression of VEGF-C in tumour and stromal cells in cutaneous melanoma determines
lymphangiogenesis and neoplastic dissemination to lymph nodes. We examined cases from 50 patients with melanoma who underwent
selective biopsy of the sentinel lymph node. Immunohistochemical study was done with D2-40 to label lymph vessels, and the
expression of VEGF-C was evaluated in tumour and stromal cells. Lymph vessel density was greater in sentinel lymph node-positive
than in sentinel lymph node-negative cases, though the difference was not significant (P = 0.075). A significant correlation was seen between lymph vessel density and tumour thickness and the presence of ulceration.
The main finding was that the expression of VEGF-C in fibroblasts was highly associated with the presence of metastasis in
the sentinel node and with the Clark level. However, VEGF-C expression showed no relation in either tumour cells or macrophages
with node status or other prognostic factors, such as the Breslow index or Clark level. Our results highlight the relevance
of the stroma in tumour progression in cutaneous melanoma and its role in the spread to lymph nodes. 相似文献

BackgroundSurgical resection margins (RM), axillary nodal involvement and lymph node ratio (LNR) determine loco-regional control (LRC) in breast cancer management. Late presentation precludes breast conservation therefore surgical option is usually mastectomy and adjuvant chemoradiation minimize loco-regional recurrence (LRR).ObjectiveWe investigated the prognostic role of lymph nodes positive for malignancy (pN), LNR and RM on LRR of breast cancer in a tertiary hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria.MethodsLongitudinal cohort study of 225 females with breast carcinoma managed and followed up for 5-years with end point of LRR or not. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the interaction of resection margin and proportion of metastatic lymph nodes with LRR. The receiver-operator curve was plotted to determine the proportion of metastatic lymph nodes which predicted LRR.ResultsNinety-nine percent had modified radical mastectomy and 163 (72.4%) had negative resection margins. A mean of 11 axillary lymph nodes were harvested at surgery. The age, positive resection margin and number of harvested nodes with malignant cells are associated with LRR. The overall 5-year LRR rate was 16%.ConclusionLRR is dependent on lymph node involvement as well as and tumor aggressiveness. 相似文献

Purpose:
To measure the interfraction setup variation of patient undergoing intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of head and neck cancer. The data was used to define adequate treatment CTV-to-PTV margin.Materials and methods:
During March to September 2006, data was collected from 9 head and neck cancer patients treated with dynamic IMRT using 6 MV X-ray beam from Varian Clinac 23EX. Weekly portal images of setup fields which were anterior-posterior and lateral portal images were acquired for each patient with an amorphous silicon EPID, Varian aS500. These images were matched with the reference image from Varian Acuity simulator using the Varis vision software (Version 7.3.10). Six anatomical landmarks were selected for comparison. The displacement of portal image from the reference image was recorded in X (Left-Right, L-R), Y (Superior-Inferior, S-I) direction for anterior field and Z (Anterior-Posterior, A-P), Y (S-I) direction for lateral field. The systematic and random error for individual and population were calculated. Then the population-based margins were obtained.Results:
A total of 135 images (27 simulation images and 108 portal images) and 405 match points was evaluated. The systematic error ranged from 0 to 7.5 mm and the random error ranged from 0.3 to 4.8 mm for all directions. The population-based margin ranged from 2.3 to 4.5 mm (L-R), 3.5 to 4.9 mm (S-I) for anterior field and 3.4 to 4.7 mm (A-P), 2.6 to 3.7 mm (S-I) for the lateral field. These margins were comparable to the margin that was prescribed at the King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (5-10 mm) for head and neck cancer.Conclusion:
The population-based margin is less than 5 mm, thus the margin provides sufficient coverage for all of the patients. 相似文献17.

IntroductionAntemortem diagnoses of intracardiac metastases are uncommon. Metastatic melanoma shows a propensity for cardiac involvement, but cardiac involvement by melanoma is rarely identified clinically due to a paucity of cardiac symptoms.MethodsThe surgical pathology files of Mayo Clinic were searched for cases of metastatic melanoma presenting or manifesting as an intracardiac mass. The lesions were evaluated pathologically for diagnoses. Clinical information was obtained by chart review.ResultsSeven patients, four female and three male (age 31 to 79 years), were identified. No patient had a history of metastatic melanoma. All patients presented with dyspnea and symptoms of outflow obstruction. Echocardiography or CT revealed an intracardiac mass (four atrial, three ventricular). Six cases involved the right side of the heart and one involved the left ventricle. Five of the seven patients had a history of malignant melanoma, but none had a history of metastases when they presented with cardiac symptoms. In four cases, the history of primary melanoma was remote, occurring 7, 9, 13, and 28 years prior to the discovery of their cardiac mass. One patient had no history of melanoma, and no primary melanoma was ever identified. One patient had a history of a benign melanocytic lesion biopsied 2 years before, but retrospective review showed malignant melanoma.ConclusionsMelanoma is known to have an unpredictable and prolonged course. Neoplastic involvement of the heart should be considered in patients with cardiac symptoms when a documented malignancy exists, no matter how remote. 相似文献

AIMS: The histological distinction of desmoplastic melanoma from cutaneous scar tissue, particularly in the context of re-excision specimens or possible recurrence, may be very difficult. Immunostaining for S100 protein is often used to discriminate although there are little data on S100 expression in scar tissue. The aim of this study was to assess whether S100-positive cells are present in dermal scars and, if so, their extent, distribution and nature. METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty-two re-excision specimens of previously biopsied nonmelanocytic skin lesions were reviewed. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections containing dermal scars were stained by a standard ABC immunoperoxidase technique for S100 protein, CD1a and neurofilaments. The distribution and morphology of positive cells within the dermal scar tissue were documented. Cells expressing S100 protein were identified within the scars of 21 of the 22 cases. The number of S100-positive cells varied between cases but in four specimens was substantial. They displayed a variety of morphological appearances but the majority were spindle-shaped. A few showed mild cytological atypia. It is suggested that the majority represent Schwann cells with a minority of Langerhans cells and cells of uncertain lineage. CONCLUSION: S100-positive cells, including spindle cells showing mild atypia, are found in cutaneous scars. S100 staining of re-excision specimens or putative recurrences of desmoplastic melanoma should be interpreted with caution. 相似文献

PurposeAn adequate minimal surgical margin for partial nephrectomy (PN) has not yet been conclusively established. Therefore, we aimed to compare PN recurrence rates according to surgical margin status and to establish an adequate minimal surgical margin.Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively studied patients with clinically localized renal cell carcinoma who underwent PN between 2005 and 2014. Surgical margin width (SMW) was assessed for all surgical tissues and divided into three groups: SMW <1 mm, SMW ≥1 mm, and positive surgical margin (PSM). The data were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank tests and multivariate Cox regression models.ResultsOf 748 patients (median age, 55 years; interquartile range, 46–64 years; 220 female), 704 (94.2%) and 44 (5.8%) patients had negative and PSMs, respectively. Recurrence-free survival was significantly lower in patients with PSMs (p<0.001) and was not significantly different between SMW ≥1 mm and <1 mm groups (p=0.604). PSM was a significant predictor of recurrence (hazard ratio: 8.03, 95% confidence interval: 2.74–23.56, p<0.001), in contrast to SMW <1 mm (p=0.680).ConclusionA PSM after PN significantly increases the risk of recurrence. We discovered that even a submillimeter safety surgical margin may be enough to prevent recurrence. To maximize normal renal parenchyma preservation and to avoid cancer recurrence in renal parenchymal tumor patients, PN may be a safe treatment, except for those with a PSM in the final pathology. 相似文献

Hodi Z, Ellis I O, Elston C W, Pinder S E, Donovan G, Macmillan R D & Lee A H S(2010) Histopathology 56 , 573–580 Comparison of margin assessment by radial and shave sections in wide local excision specimens for invasive carcinoma of the breast Aims: Standard margin assessment of breast carcinoma surgical specimens uses radial sections perpendicular to the margin. Shave sections assess a larger surface area of margin than radial sections. The aim was to assess the value of additional shave sections of the margin. Methods and results: Both types of section were used to assess 471 wide local excision specimens for invasive carcinoma. One hundred and seventy‐nine specimens had positive margins: only radial margins were involved (tumour within 5 mm of margin) in 76, only shave margins in 45, and both shave and radial margins in 58. Residual carcinoma was found in re‐excision specimens (immediate or later) in 43% when the closest distance to the radial margin was 0–1 mm, 25% for 2–4 mm, 18% for 5–9 mm and 13% for >9 mm. Residual carcinoma was found in 44% of specimens if any shave section was positive and in 9% if all shaves were negative. Residual carcinoma was found in 32% if either radial or shave sections were positive and in 4% if neither was positive. Conclusions: The combination of radial and shave sections appears to be good at separating patients into two groups with high and low risk of residual carcinoma. 相似文献
