Gross Specimen – Container i) labelled an Right sided Hemicolectomy specimen Container ii)Unlabelled
Container I) labelled an Right sided Hemicolectomy specimen Received right sided hemicolectomy specimen comprising part of terminal ileum measuring 10.cm in length, Caecum measuring 4.5cm in length. Ascending colon measuring 16cm in length, Proximal resection margin measuring 1.8cm in diameter Distal resection margin measuring 2.5cm in diameter. Attached appendix measuring 3. 5cm in length and 0.5 cm in diameter External surface.of terminal ileum is unremarkable.Cut surface - Normal mucosal fold seen External surface of caecum and colon – congested Cut surface A grey white ulceroproliferative tumour in seen in ascending colon measuring 8.5x4.3x2.7cm . It is involving the bowel wall circumferentially. Tumour is solid and firm in inconsistency showing focal areas of haemorrhage . Tumour is 15cm from proximal resection margin & 8.5 cm from distal resection margin Grossly the tumor reaches upto the serosa (0.1cm away). Appendix External surface - focal area of congestion seen Cut surface lumen seen.
Lymphnodes At the level of tumor, 17 lymph nodes isolated, largest measuring 1.5x1x0.5 cm. Below the level of tumor, 16 lymph nodes isolated, largest measuring 1x0.5x0.5cm. Above the level of tumour , 10 lymph nodes isolated. largest measuring 1x0.5x0.5cm. Container ii)Unlabelled Received grey white soft tissue piece measuring 1x0.5x0.5cm. 3lymphodes isolated, largest measuring 0.5x0.5x0.2cm.

Immunohistochemistry CD X2 - Diffuse positive Synaptophysin : Focal and patchy positive NSE-Strong and diffuse positive CD 56 Negative CK 20-Negative LCA –Negative CD117 Negative Ki-67-70% Based on the IHC findings. diagnosis of Large Cell Neuroendoerine Carcinoma is favoured over Poorly Differentiated Adenocarcinoma subject to the positivity of IHC marker Chromogranin ADVICE IHC with Chromogranin is mandatory for confirmation of diagnosis.

Discussion 1. Poorly Differentiated Adenocarcinoma 2. Large cell Neuroendocrine carcinoma of colon 3. Medullary carcinoma of colon
Poorly Differentiated Adenocarcinoma 15 – 20% of adenocarcinoma , Mean age – 60 -70 years, M=F
Large cell Neuroendocrine carcinoma Epidemiology – rare, 0.25% of colorectal carcinoma Age – mean age – 60 years Site – Caecum or right colon Microscopic ( histologic ) description An organoid structure with prevalent large trabeculae , rosette-like and palisading patterns, and solid nests with central necrosis, sometimes with single-cell necrosis and thick stroma . NEC cells display severe atypia , brisk mitotic activity (often with atypical mitoses. Large cells (~3x size of small cell carcinoma) with abundant amphophilic cytoplasm, intercellular membranes, nuclear pleomorphism , variably coarse, granular or vesicular chromatin with prominent nucleoli IHC - Neuroendocrine markers, usually at least 2 diffuse and strong ( chromogranin , synaptophysin , CD56)
Medullary carcinoma of colon Epidemiology – 5-8 cases for every 10,000 colorectal carcinoma. Annual incidence – 3.47 per 10 million population. 7th decade F>M Site – caecum and proximal colon Subtype of poorly differentiated colon adenocarcinoma Sheets of malignant cells with vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and abundant eosinopnilic cytoplasm, exhibiting prominent infiltration by lymphocytes . Aberrant immunohistochemical pattern. with loss of CDX2 and CK20 Neuroendocrine markers (MLH1 and MSH2) are negative on IHC. Positive stains – Calretinine , MUC-1, MUC-2 and TFF-3.
