DIAGNOSIS:A, B) Mass, distal sigmoid colon/proximal rectum, segmental colonicresection:- Tumor type and grade: Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma.- Tumor size and location: 3.0 cm, distal sigmoid colon/proximalrectum.- Extent of invasion: Tumor extends through muscularis propria and intosubserosal fat, and approaches within less than 1/2 mm of serosa.- Lymph nodes: 5 of 16 lymph nodes involved by metastatic neoplasm. Noevidence of extranodal extension by tumor.- Margins: Proximal and distal resection margins uninvolved by neoplasm.Radial margin within proximal rectum of less than 1 mm. Separatelysubmitted anastomotic rings (part B) uninvolved by neoplasm.- Lymphovascular invasion: None seen.- High-risk morphology for microsatellite instability: No.
AJCC Stage: Preliminary stage pending clinical review is AJCC pT3, pN2,MX (Stage IIIC). Correlation with clinical and imaging findings is alsonecessary for accurate staging.
